Cancer Rehabilitation

The focus of cancer rehabilitation is to help individuals to achieve their highest potential in physical function, pain relief and quality of life. Patients’ goals typically include improving strength and endurance after surgery, chemotherapy or other medical intervention so they can safely return home.

Program components include:

• Individualized, outcome-oriented treatment plan
• Coordinated, intensive therapies to promote maximum functional improvement
• Extensive case management with links for ongoing treatment after discharge
• Communication and coordination of specific care needs with involved community physicians (primary care physician, oncologist)
• Education related to pain management and development of a pain management plan
• Supportive resources that assist with emotional adjustment to cancer
