This site can serve as an important initial resource for patients and their families as they start to cope with a new diagnosis of cancer, enabling them to more effectively communicate with their health care team.”

“In honor of Head and Neck Cancer Awareness month, I would like to utilize your graphics to display an accurate depiction of the different anatomical locations of head and neck cancer. The graphic designs are excellent because they are not only anatomically correct, they present the anatomy in a way that patients are easily able to understand the different sites. They are far above any others I have seen, and will be a tremendous benefit to help educate patients and families about head & neck cancer. They will be on display in our patient education resource room. Thank you so much again for allowing me to utilizing your suburb work to help educate our patients in a quality manner.”
