The Next Step Orientation Class
Learning to live beyond cancer
When you or a loved one is diagnosed with cancer, what is the next step? You and your family likely have many questions about the physical, emotional and everyday impacts of cancer. Our Next Step classes are hosted online and in person at Memorial Cancer Institute in South Florida. The classes educate and empower you with helpful information throughout your cancer journey.
Cancer Information Topics
In our Next Step classes, Memorial Cancer Institute's cancer care professionals share their knowledge to help make life easier for you, your family and your caregivers. Classes are available to our cancer patients and families at no cost.
