Inside the Sheri & Les Biller Patient and Family Resource Center



With support and compassion, everyone can achieve a feeling of wholeness, even while confronting a life-threatening illness. That belief underlies and motivates every element of the Sheri & Les Biller Patient and Family Resource Center.

 

The Biller Resource Center’s attentive and caring staff and volunteers work as a team. These team members will welcome patients and their relatives and friends into a warm environment offering these features:

  • Touch-screen computer system to educate patients and family members about common challenges involved in cancer treatment and ensure they get the services they need.
  • Tailored care specific to each patient and family.
  • Private space for patients to meet with patient navigators, physicians, psychologists, social workers, spiritual care providers and other staff and volunteers.
  • An activity room for yoga, support group meetings and classes, as well as art therapy, music, nutrition, meditation and guided imagery workshops.
  • An extensive collection of educational books, pamphlets, CDs and DVDs on cancer-related topics.
  • Books, CDs and DVDs on guided imagery and other mind-body topics.
  • Computers for viewing educational software, accessing health-related Web sites and obtaining information on community resources.
  • A covered, comfortable outdoor space for reflection.
