Patients with cancer and their care supporters may experience many forms of physical and mental distress throughout their cancer trajectory. As an integral component of cancer care, psychosocial oncology helps cancer patients and their loved ones, address the psychological, behavioral, emotional, and social issues that may arise.
The American Psychosocial Oncology Society (APOS) is the nation’s only multidisciplinary organization dedicated to the psychosocial care of individuals affected by cancer and has a thriving network of professionals working to enhance psychosocial oncology research, education, and clinical practice.

HealthWell recently contributed an article to @triage_health`s blog! Managing a chronic illness presents daily challenges—not just in maintaining one’s physical and emotional health, but also in handling the financial burden of ongoing treatment. High out-of-pocket costs for medications, specialist visits, and essential therapies can place significant strain on patients and their families. At the HealthWell Foundation, we believe no one should have to choose between their health and financial stability.
