Make an Appointment

 

You can contact each of our staff directly at their numbers listed below to make an appointment. Family members and friends may also contact us directly. However, our psychiatrists require a physician's referral.

Although each member of our staff is assigned to assist patients and families with certain types of cancer, we are very flexible.

For example, if you would prefer to be seen at one Unit rather than another, or would prefer to see a male or female counsellor, this can easily be arranged.

If you have a general inquiry, or if the type of cancer you have been diagnosed with is not listed below, call (204) 787-2109 or Toll-Free, 1-866-561-1026 and ask for Psychosocial Oncology.
