Orientation

A diagnosis of cancer raises many questions for patients, their families, and caregivers. To help people in our community meet the challenge of cancer "Kevin’s Korner" was created. It provides access to understandable, current and accurate cancer-related information for all ages. To complement these resources, educational programs are offered throughout the year through Saint John’s.

"Where is "Kevin’s Korner" located?"
"Kevin’s Korner" is located on the first floor of Saint John’s Ambulatory Services Center, 2020 Meridian Street, Suite 100. 

A satellite "Korner" is available in our Chemotherapy Unit on the Second Floor. Access is also available from your home on this internet site.

"How do I find the information I need?"
The Cancer Center staff will help you find the resources you need. A one-on-one orientation may be requested from the Health Sciences Librarian at 646-8262. This half-hour session will show you how to utilize the web links and access the information you need. You may request information in person, over the phone, or through e-mail (kevinskorner@sjhsnet.org). Please remember that our staff nor librarian cannot give medical advice or interpret information. Please refer those personal questions to your healthcare provider.

"Can I borrow materials from "Kevin’s Korner"?"
Unfortunately materials cannot be removed from "Kevin’s Korner." Since our collection is a small one, we want to make everything available when needed. However, you are welcome to print off information for home use. Books may be available through your local public library, bookstores, or on-line at Amazon.com through "Kevin’s Korner." On Amazon.com you can search for the title and place your order with a credit card. The book can then be shipped directly to your home. Remember: with any book ordered through "Kevin’s Korner" a percentage of that charge will be donated back to "Kevin’s Korner," enabling us to enhance our resources for you and the community. This link to Amazon.com is provided for your convenience only. The materials mentioned on our site may be purchased at other locations and by other means. Amazon.com is responsible for all aspects of order processing and fulfillment, and any purchases made through Amazon.com are subject to Amazon.com’s rules and policies regarding product sales.
