About Patient & Caregiver Engagement
In our Patient & Caregiver Engagement Department, health education specialists collaborate with Memorial Sloan Kettering’s expert healthcare providers to provide people with cancer, their caregivers, and the public with accurate, reliable information to empower them to participate in their cancer care. Through our virtual library, you can access written information, videos, and webcasts.
