Nutritional Assistance


Many people undergoing cancer treatment have specialized nutritional needs, especially those with cancers of the digestive tract or of the head and neck region.

Registered dieticians at Cayuga Medical Center (607-274-4558) are available to assist anyone in the community with cancer related nutritional needs.

Foodnet (607-266-9553) is the local “Meals on Wheels” Program.

If you require nutritional supplements such as Ensure or Glucerna but have difficulty paying for them, you may qualify for assistance from the manufacturers of these products. A clearinghouse for these programs is the Partnership for Prescription Assistance (888-477-2669).
