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 comes with a diagnosis of MDS. In addition to high-quality medical care, Roswell Park provides a comprehensive range of services to help you cope with the physical, emotional, practical and day-to-day concerns related to your illness, treatment and lifelong wellness. We hope that our MDS patients and their families find these resources helpful:

Young Adult Cancer Program
The Young Adult Cancer Program offers a range of supportive services, networking opportunities and social events designed specifically for patients and survivors in their 20s and 30s.
Onco-Fertility Program
Our Onco-Fertility Program provides information and guidance about the potential impact your treatment may have on your sexual health and fertility and your options for preserving it. We also help our patients and survivors with intimacy concerns and sexual dysfunction.
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.
Specialized dental care
Good oral health is especially important for our patients because some treatments can cause dental complications. Our dental care staff will monitor your oral health before, during and after treatment, to help prevent and manage any complications.
