Patient Events Calendar
We offer a wide range of activities, events, support groups and more that take place daily across our campus for both patients and caregivers.
We understand the worry and confusion that come with a diagnosis of cancer.
In addition to high-quality medical care, Roswell Park provides a comprehensive range of services to help cope with the physical, emotional, practical and day-to-day concerns related to your illness, treatment and lifelong wellness.
We hope that our patients with melanoma and their families find these resources helpful.

Tobacco cessation
Quitting tobacco products for good not only is better for your overall health, but it can help improve effectiveness of your cancer treatment. We know it’s not easy, but we are here to help with certified tobacco cessation specialists, quit aids and support.
Young Adult Program
Designed specifically for patients in their 20s and 30s, our Young Adult program offers services such as fertility preservation, mental health counseling, financial and practical guidance, social support and networking.
Assessment & Treatment Center (ATC)
This center provides medical evaluation and treatment to our current patients with urgent, but not life-threatening, symptoms. The ATC is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The ATC is not an emergency room and does not accept walk-ins; you must be referred by your Roswell Park physician or the physician-on-call.
Supportive & Palliative Care
We provide support and symptom management to patients facing difficult symptoms such as pain, nausea, poor sleep, or anxiety related to cancer and its treatment, or who may be feeling overwhelmed or don't have the support they need to get through their treatment. We will listen to you, assess your symptoms and provide a way forward to relieve pain and other symptoms, improve quality of life and ease emotional distress and anxiety.
Survivorship care
We want to help you make life after cancer the best it can be! Our survivorship team can help you build a plan that is specific to you and your journey, creating a clear map for the road ahead.
