RALLY AGAINST CANCER
RALLY AGAINST CANCER PROCEEDS SUPPORTCARE COORDINATOR PROGRAM
The care coordinators are specially trained oncology nurseswho understand both the technical and emotional aspects of the
cancer journey. Together with members of the multidisciplinary care team, the care coordinators help bridge and connect patients and their families
with resources in the cancer center and out in the community. At thesame time, care coordinators look ahead a few steps to identify what is coming up next in their patient’s treatment and determine how to meet
their needs. The goal is to walk along with the patient and family and guide them through the process, providing support, advocacy and hope.The care coordinator service is available to all patients at no cost.
It is funded through philanthropy and represents Stoddard’s commitmentto providing comprehensive care to its patients.
ABOUT JOHN STODDARD CANCER CENTERJohn Stoddard Cancer Center, a service of Iowa Methodist Medical Center,
is at the forefront of cancer care in Iowa and the Midwest. The Cancer Center provides a wide range of patient and family support services and one of the most technologically advanced radiation oncology departments available.

SILENT AUCTION DONORS
SUPPORT GROUPSStoddard staff believe that proper treatment of cancer includes addressing both psychological and physical symptoms, therefore offering 11 different support groups. In addition, through the “What’s On Your Mind?” program, patients and families spend time with a licensed psychologist to confidentially examine the issues they are facing and explore coping strategies. All support group services are free of charge.
CANCER SURVIVORS DAYEach year, Stoddard hosts a Cancer Survivors Day event to celebrate the fortitude and strength of cancer survivors and their families. It is a day filled with fun, laughter, and camaraderie for those who are on and have been through the cancer journey. National Cancer Survivors Day is an annual celebration of life held in communities throughout the world.
COFFEE, COOKIES & CONVERSATIONThrough this program, volunteers deliver chocolate chip cookies and cups of coffee two times a week to our patients and families on the Adult Oncology floor and Radiation Oncology Department. Sweet treats and friendly smiles from volunteers help to brighten days during a challenging time.
