Carolina Well
UNC Lineberger Survivorship Program
A Member of the LIVESTRONG Survivorship Center of Excellence Network
Made possible by the V Foundation and the Lance Armstrong Foundation

OUR MISSION
Our mission is to empower cancer survivors and their families to have the highest possible quality of life.

You can help us enhance support and educational services for you and your caregivers throughout the cancer journey by taking a few moments to complete the Carolina Well Cancer Survivorship Needs Assessment. Your participation in this survey will help us plan best for the future. All your answers will be strictly confidential. We appreciate your time.

The Carolina Well Program has 3 areas of focus:

1. Establishing a cutting edge survivorship program at UNC-CH, including both clinical and patient support efforts such as survivorship care plans to help patients better communicate their needs to their primary care physicians after treatment, an integrated holistic survivorship care program, psycho-educational programming, and patient navigation. A website will be designed to include resources, links, and tools such as decision aids and tailored feedback for cancer survivors.

2. Networking with other organizations across the state to help avoid duplication of services, identify current gaps in cancer services, and refer survivors to their own local community resources. There are many great resources in the community. We would like to utilize and improve upon those resources while creating services to fill gaps where support is needed.

3. Partnering with communities across the state to better coordinate services in the communities in which cancer survivors live and work. Current community partners include: Greensboro AHEC Area Health Education Center, Tri-County Community Health Center in Sampson County, and New Hanover Health Network in Wilmington. These community partners will coordinate survivorship programs, offer local educational and training programs for cancer survivors and caregivers including peer counseling, and continuing education for health professionals.
