The Resource Room of the Carol G. Simon Cancer Center of Morristown Memorial Hospital is dedicated to helping cancer patients, their families and friends, and members of the community find the information they need about cancer. The Resource Room is a collection of books, audio tapes, video tapes, and pamphlets, all exclusively about the many aspects of  having cancer. The center also has a touch screen computer dedicated to cancer information, which is refreshed monthly by the National Cancer Institute. 

If the information you require cannot be found in the Resource Room, volunteers will tell you how to inquire at the Morristown Memorial Hospital's main library, or help you contact one of the Carol G. Simon Center's oncology social workers. In addition, a telephone which is programmed with direct dial numbers to about 20 national cancer organizations is available for all.. 

Books and tapes may be borrowed from the Resource Room either temporarily (perhaps during a wait to see a doctor at the Carol G. Simon Center), or for a period of three weeks. The Resource Room volunteers can direct you to the various sources of information, or put you in contact with an oncology social worker for more specific matters. 

Volunteers staff the Resource Room on weekdays from 
9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and are supervised by the Cancer Center staff.
