Oncology Program
Though our bodies and spirits can be hurt, with strength
we are never broken.
Find your strength®.Find your
strength.®
There’s much more to treating cancer than treating the
disease itself. Our oncology rehabilitation programs
address everything from medication needs to physical
therapy to psychological support and more. Here,
patients and their families can find strength at every
step of their journey.
The Oncology Program of the Spaulding Rehabilitation Network
delivers specialized expertise in oncology care and rehabilitation,
with multiple levels of care to meet your individual needs. No
matter what your diagnosis or phase of treatment, our goal is the
same: to provide medical and specialty care to improve your
quality of life and help you achieve the highest possible level of
independence. Advances in understanding cancer, coupled with
advances in medical interventions and rehabilitation techniques,
offer new opportunities to make it happen.
As a patient within the Spaulding Network, you and your family
members become members of a team of knowledgeable, dedicated
oncology experts. We emphasize education to provide you and
your family with a comprehensive understanding of the disease and
its effects, as well as to help our clinicians determine the level of
support to provide.
