When you’re diagnosed with cancer, it’s life-altering. At the University of Miami Health System, we offer leading-edge innovations to diagnose and treat cancer. We combine our world-class care with support services to treat the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. We believe that, treating you, as a whole person, helps to improve your well-being as you undergo treatment during this difficult period in your life.

• Disabled
• Managing a chronic disease
• Terminally ill
