What We Do
As Ottawa’s only Community Cancer Hub, we are transforming Supportive Cancer Care through dynamic collaborations with over 70 diverse community partners. Together, we create and deliver impactful, no-cost programs and front-line services both at the Hub at 1500 Alta Vista (Maplesoft-Jones Centre) and within the community.
How We Can Help
Supportive cancer care
Supportive cancer care in Ottawa is essential to address the multifaceted needs of cancer patients and their families. It provides emotional, psychological, financial and practical support, helping individuals cope with the physical and emotional challenges of cancer treatment. It improves overall quality of life, reduces stress, and enhances treatment outcomes. Additionally, supportive care services in Ottawa offer essential resources and information, fostering a sense of community and empowerment during a difficult journey.
Cancer system navigation
The Cancer Navigation Program links patients to services and supports to address their holistic needs and promote self-care and empowerment, which optimizes resource allocation and improves patient outcomes. Our Cancer System Navigators, who are healthcare professionals, offer personalized, “in-the-moment”, trauma-informed interventions to help individuals navigate the complex healthcare system and find cancer resources in the Ontario region that address their non-medical needs – including services within our own Community Cancer Hub.
Community Cancer Hub
At the Community Cancer Hub in the Maplesoft-Jones Centre, and now extending into the community through program delivery partners, we provide a range of services and programs including individual counselling, therapeutic art groups, fitness, yoga and meditation classes, and support groups for people impacted by cancer. We also offer evidence-based workshops on topics related to nutrition, symptom management, returning-to-work, advanced care planning and living well with cancer.
