Supportive Care Clinic

Nebraska Cancer Specialists (NCS) Supportive Care Clinic provides whole-person care for patients experiencing serious illness, with a goal of preventing and relieving symptoms of disease and treatment, and maximizing quality of life. Supportive care is patient-focused and addresses physical and emotional needs of patients and their families.

The NCS Supportive Care Clinic works to optimize patient outcomes in partnership with each patient’s oncologist, primary care provider, and any other specialized physicians who are currently treating the patient. Considered as an extra layer of care, the supportive care clinic includes a medical oncologist, supportive care physician or nurse practitioner, nurse case manager, and medical assistant. Depending upon a patient’s care goals, the team may also include a social worker, occupational therapist, mental health provider, dietitian, chaplain, treatment nurses and other specialists.
