Integrative Medicine Program
Our Program
The Integrative Medicine Program offers therapeutic services, such as healing touch, massage, acupuncture, mind/body skills, nutrition education and yoga for hematology/oncology and chronic pain patients and their families. These tools are utilized to lessen the side effects of treatment and enhance quality of life. The program uses these modalities to “complement” the medical treatment plan prescribed by the physician.

To ultimately facilitate patients’ well being by creating a healing environment through the integration of complementary and conventional medicine and to ensure that every patient has appropriate access to physical, emotional and spiritual therapies.
