Energy for Life

With so much at stake, effective cancer treatment programs must address all aspects of this disease and fight its negative effects on every level. Energy for Life is an oncology rehabilitation program that combines the physical, educational and emotional support needed for those living with cancer

Occupational, Physical and Speech Therapy

Surgery, chemotherapy or radiation may produce loss of function for patients during or following treatment. Specially trained therapists from Regional Rehabilitation Services are dedicated to addressing the needs of patients dealing with loss of function during or after treatments.

Counseling

A variety of counseling services, both one-on-one and in groups, are offered to provide guidance and opportunities for sharing. A trained social worker and a chaplain are available full-time to help lead patients and family members in discussion about the emotional impact cancer has made and to help find ways to cope.

Nutrition Services

A registered dietitian provides regular educational classes on diet and nutrition, in addition to providing individual counseling to patients and caregivers. Nutritional assessments and monitoring are also provided to patients experiencing nutrition difficulties during and after treatment.

Movement Classes

Programs such as Tai Chi and Pilates lead the mind and body through a series of movements and deep breathing techniques that promote relaxation, flexibility and stress reduction.

Education Classes

Free community education classes are offered on a regular basis in order to provide patients and caregivers with the tools they need to cope with cancer. These educational forums allow patients and loved ones to hear from experts, ask questions and learn how to adjust physically and emotionally to life with cancer.
