The Berrien County Cancer Service, Inc. has had the honor of caring for Southwest Michigan’s cancer patients since 1948. Their mission is to provide compassionate in-home skilled nursing care and supportive resources for those affected by cancer or related illnesses in Southwest Michigan. Many of their patients are currently receiving cancer treatments and need extra skilled nursing care in the home but are not eligible for coverage through insurance or Medicare. Their nurses are able to bridge this gap through their compassionate care services. Tyanna Essig is their Director of Operations and Development.
