Due to the Coronavirus, for the health and safety of patients and staff, we regret that we are presently unable to offer our gift closet and support programs. See the front page for updates and more information. 

Cancer care is much more than just your treatment. At New Mexico Cancer Center, we offer you individualized cancer support services, from diagnosis all the way through survivorship. Our team of professional Cancer Support Advocates will work with you to identify and overcome challenges and potential barriers to coping with cancer, and receiving the best treatment possible. They will answer your questions about support of all kinds – financial, emotional, counseling, educational, and family. There are additional community resources available that your Cancer Support Advocate may suggest, according to your individual situation.

New Mexico Cancer Center CLIMB Support Group

The Children’s Lives Include Moments of Bravery (CLIMB®) program at the New Mexico Cancer Center is a special support group developed by The Children’s Treehouse Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to the emotional support of teens and children who have parents or guardians with cancer, recently featured on the KUNM Children's Hour.

Specially trained facilitators provide this support group that meets Thursday evenings from 6:00 - 7:30 pm for 6 weeks. At the start of each session a shared meal is provided by local restaraunts for the familes. Through art projects and discussion, the structured program helps normalize feelings teens and children may have about their cancer experience and helps nurture postitive communication between the parent or guardian with cancer, and their child.
