At LifeBridge Health, our patients’ cancer journey doesn't end with clinical treatment — it continues with a commitment to healing, wellness and ongoing support.
Soon to be located in the Mandy and Dennis Weinman Cancer Building and an integral program of the Alvin and Lois Lapidus Cancer Institute at Sinai Hospital, the Dr. Michael J. Schultz Cancer Survivorship Program will offer comprehensive care for cancer patients in every stage of their wellness journey. The program will begin on the first day of diagnosis, continue through treatment and transition seamlessly into post-treatment.
Patients will have access to a dedicated program navigator, a program coordinator and a full complement of integrated resources. Many are designed to establish baseline assessments and ongoing support.
Resources available and coordinated through the program may include:
In addition, onsite resources of the Rehabilitation Institute at Sinai may include:
You’re not alone. Our Survivors Offering Support (SOS) program will connect newly diagnosed patients with mentors who have walked the path of cancer and recovery.
This vigorous and popular program connects recently diagnosed cancer patients with trained and educated mentor survivors who provide a unique buddy support system. By providing information and sympathetic ears throughout the survivorship journeys, SOS mentors offer comfort, understanding and insights to the patients.
Mentors receive training in therapeutic listening, communication and understanding the cancer journey.
Mentors are not trained to provide clinical advice or medical opinions but can share their personal experiences and offer an understanding of the treatment journey.
With more than 50 years of dedicated service, Dr. Michael J. Schultz is a pioneer in breast cancer care in Baltimore. His legacy of compassion continues through a new program that ensures patients receive not only treatment, but also the resources and support they need—starting from the day of diagnosis.
Dr. Schultz has long been admired not only for his clinical expertise, but for the way he makes people feel seen, heard and cared for. He has always gone beyond treating the illness—he treats the whole person.
Dr. Schultz continues to care for patients in a powerful new way. He is leading the creation of the Dr. Michael J. Schultz Cancer Survivorship Program—a visionary initiative grounded in his belief that survivorship begins the moment a patient is diagnosed.
