Cancer patients face unique financial burdens; our webinar will discuss how to recognize patients experiencing financial toxicity in relation to their cancer care and how to educate your staff in talking to patients about this delegate subject. We will discuss the use of financial counselors, share resources for patients to help them better manage the cost of their medical care; and provide educational resources for staff to better recognize patients that may be experiencing financial toxicity.
