Virginia R. Cvetko Patient Education Center
Cancer education and support are an important part of the cancer treatment process. The Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center at Dallas offers several programs through the Virginia R. Cvetko Patient Education Center to help you and your loved ones understand and manage the physical, emotional and spiritual challenges of cancer.
