Banner Thunderbird Medical Center is committed to providing compassionate, innovative cancer care services tailored to meet the individual needs of its patients. Experienced physicians and staff, technologically advanced detection and treatment tools, and an array of support services ensure patients are expertly cared for through all phases of the cancer continuum.
As an extension of its clinical cancer care services, Banner Thunderbird takes great pride in ensuring the emotional needs of its patients and their families are met. In doing so, Banner Thunderbird pays careful attention to the special needs of children touched by cancer.
Whether dealing with the cancer diagnosis of a parent, relative or friend, Banner Thunderbird’s unique Kids Can Cope cancer support series helps children ages 6 - 16 understand and cope with cancer.
Kids Can Cope also serves as a resource for parents by helping them better understand and prepare for a child’s reaction to cancer.
Of course, adults also need support after receiving a personal cancer diagnosis and while undergoing treatment. I Can Cope is a monthly educational series (February through November) that covers a variety of cancer-related topics in a relaxed and personalized setting.
