If You’ve Been Diagnosed with Cancer, We’ve Got You Covered

At Benefis Sletten Cancer Institute, we understand that cancer care involves more than medical treatments. We designed our programs and services to fit the needs of you and your family throughout your cancer journey. We’re ready to help with:

• Cancer Resource Center, where you’ll find valuable information about cancer including books, DVDs, brochures, and online resources.
• Chaplains and social workers who will meet with you and your family to provide help and support, or just to listen.
• Financial assistance for patients and their families. Our counselors help with guidance for insurance and payment issues.
• Dietitians are nutrition experts that can help nourish you before, during, and after cancer treatment.
• Grassroots Café, where you’ll find healthy, wholesome meals. Located in the relaxing Healing Garden, the Grassroots Café is open every day for breakfast and lunch.
• Massage therapy to reduce stress and help you relax - even during treatment in the Infusion Suite.
• Image Center, in Sletten Cancer Institute, where our aesthetic specialists help you with the changing needs of your hair, skin, and body as you go through cancer treatment. For example, our certified breast and prosthetic fitters help women who have had a mastectomy.
• Patient navigators who guide you through the medical, financial, scheduling, and other aspects of cancer care.
• Palliative Care provides needed support to you and your family while you are receiving cancer care, and it can be used at any point in your treatment.
• Physical and other rehabilitative therapies to help maximize your recovery and minimize discomfort from cancer or cancer treatments.
• Support groups where you can connect with other cancer patients and survivors to share concerns, advice, and stories.

Gift of Life Housing

If you live outside of Great Falls, our Gift of Life Housing provides a home away from home while you are receiving treatment at Benefis. You and a family member can stay at one of our two Gift of Life Housing centers. These one-bedroom apartments feature fully-equipped kitchens, linens and towels, and a laundry room on site. Gift of Life Housing also offers short-stay rooms that are similar to hotel rooms, and RV spaces with water and electricity hookups. This donor-supported program is free to our patients.

Mastectomy Fittings

Benefis Community Care provides certified breast and prosthetic fitters for women who have had a mastectomy. You’ll also find products such as bras, camisoles, and swim suits. We’re ready to help at the Benefis Med Spa, located on-site at Benefis Sletten Cancer Institute.
