About the Program
UCLA’s GI Cancer Supportive Service Program was designed by a multi-disciplinary team, including Oncology, Palliative Care, Nutrition Oncology, and Psychosocial Support, with the intention of enhancing the care of patients living with GI-related cancers (see eligibility criteria below). This program aims to help patients and loved ones connect with available services, strengthen their knowledge of the medical system, and support collaboration across disciplines. As part of this program, our team offers an orientation as well as a support group.
