Highly acclaimed studies have now shown that cancer patients do better, actually live longer, and generally have an easier experience -- if they feel supported by those that are around them. No wonder, then, that oncology experts at the world's best known treatment centers are urging patients to stay in their own communities, near the support of family and friends, when expert care is available where they live.

A Multidisciplinary Team
The Wellness Center's experienced team of therapists, nutritionists and other medical professionals are experienced in working with patients with all cancer types, helping them to develop programs that enhance the quality of life during cancer treatment and throughout recovery.

Support Groups
Support groups meet regularly to share ideas and resources, and to support one another. Research studies show that those who participate in cancer support groups live longer. Here at the support group meeting cancer patients share their coping and rehabilitation strategies and experiences.

Education
Education is an important component to managing and recovering from cancer. Education and classes about various types of cancer, rehabilitation, reducing risk factors, prevention, exercise and medication are all topics that are explored.

Dietary Consultant & Education
Each patient and spouse receives a dietary assessment by a trained dietician. The dietician will review the patient's food intake. Tailored dietary plans will be discussed as appropriate. The dietician will answer questions as well as give ideas for preparing food, reading food labels, purchasing food and eating out.
