Corewell Health is the new name for Beaumont.

The Wilson Cancer Resource Center is dedicated to lightening the burden of a cancer diagnosis by providing patients and their families with resources and assistance throughout their continuum of care.

The Wilson Cancer Resource Center (WCRC) is located in the Physician Office Building, part of the Beaumont Medical Center, Sterling Heights on the Beaumont, Troy east campus.

Whether newly diagnosed or a survivor of many years, a cancer diagnosis rearranges priorities and needs. The Wilson Cancer Resource Center provides oncology patients and their families with education guidance and support to help optimize their cancer treatment and survivorship. Services are free and no referral is needed.
