Integrative Care

Integrative care is whole person care.  It supports recovery from side-effects, emotional support, and adopting a generally supportive lifestyle to aid in healing and achieving a good quality of life before, during, and after treatment.  These techniques are also important considerations for individuals in observational protocols such as active surveillance or watchful waiting. 

Complementary Lifestyle Support

Consider working with your medical team to incorporate physical activity into your treatment plan.  It might enhance your quality of life and overall outcomes.

​Here are a few resources you or your loved one cane share with your medical team for consideration:

• ​Creating an Active Journey Presentation

• The Oncology, Nutrition and Exercise (ONE) Group
