Support groups help patients and their families address the emotional issues surrounding an illness and may provide comfort and aid to those facing a disease or other health issue. Our support groups meet on a regular basis and are moderated by a social worker or other health care professional.

Patient and Family Advisory Council

At the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, we understand that the voice of our patients and families can be a powerful tool in improving safety, patient satisfaction, and quality health care.

The Patient and Family Advisory Council is our way of giving that voice a platform, embracing patient- and family-centered care and ensuring that all of our visitors feel known and a part of the Trojan Family.

The Patient and Family Advisory Council is dedicated to partnering patients and families with members of the health care team to improve the patient and family experience.
