• Bookmarks: 14
When we think of cancer treatment, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation come to mind. Less thought of but no less important are the elements of care and healing, both physical and psychological, that are critical in restoring patients’ sense of wholeness and wellbeing after clinical treatment.
Phelps Hospital has established a Health and Wellness Center that concentrates on helping patients regain their physical, emotional and mental well-being during and after cancer treatment. The center offers personalized programs and healing therapies that help patients feel more supported, empowered and connected as they seek—and find—the healthy elements of their lives they enjoyed before cancer.
A team of specialists offers a range of supportive services tailored to the unique needs of cancer patients and survivors. Among the latest is an Exercise Oncology Program offers patients and survivors techniques to improve strength, endurance and flexibility. Through guided movement and evidence-informed care, patients can work to reduce fatigue, improve mobility, build confidence and enhance quality of life. These include nutritional counseling, integrative wellness therapies (e.g. reiki, acupuncture, aroma therapy), mindfulness and emotional support services, gentle fitness and movement classes, creative wellness activities designed to promote healing and resilience
