Why is DART Important?

Your health care team is here to give you the best possible care. DART helps you and your health care team to:

  • Talk about your most important concerns and symptoms
  • Plan care that is right for you

Life with cancer can be very distressing. Feeling distress is normal, but it can be difficult to manage on your own. We have a dedicated team of social workers and psychiatrists who can help you with your concerns.
