For many individuals and families, a diagnosis of cancer (or a related disease) brings the need for information. You may want to know about the illness itself and treatment options; you may want to learn about how your disease can affect your physical and emotional health; or you may be interested in support programs.

The resource centers and their satellite resource rooms at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women's Hospital are staffed by professionals and volunteers and provide comfortable places to learn. Each site offers books, brochures, computers, videotapes, and audiotapes to help you find the information and support you may need.

To learn more about the Eleanor and Maxwell Blum Patient and Family Resource Center at Dana-Farber and its satellite rooms, including the Betty Ann Blum and Marjorie Blum Pediatric Resource Room, the Houghton Mifflin Patient and Family Resource Room, and the Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Inpatient Resource Room, please click on the below link.
