The Cancer Care Centre at York Hospital
The Cancer Care Centre at York Hospital
The Cancer Care Centre at York Hospital was established in 1997 thanks to funding from York Against Cancer. You can find it at York Hospital on Wigginton Road – just beneath the Magnolia Centre, which is opposite the multi-storey car park on entry. The centre offers a number of services for cancer patients, their loved ones and their carers but due to ongoing coronavirus concerns it is limited to a telephone only service.
Services
You can call the Cancer Care Centre between 9am and 4.30pm, Monday to Friday, on 01904 721166. You’ll be able to speak to one of the team who will be able to help you and give you advice or you can leave a message, and one of the team will get back to you. You’ll benefit from access to information, therapies, psychological treatment and much more.
Information service
Whether you’re dealing with a new diagnosis or living with cancer, the information available is always changing. The centre’s information service provides the most up-to-date information on all types of cancers, local services and support to cope with all aspects of life following a diagnosis. You are welcome to access this on 01904 721166.
