What is integrative cancer care?
Integrative cancer care makes use of all appropriate therapeutic approaches, providers, and self-care to support optimal health and healing.

placing the person with cancer in the center of their community,
the center of the room,
the center of the conversation,
the center of themselves.
Recognizing that each person is not defined by their diagnosis.
Focusing on personalized, integrative strategies for each individual.
Helping each person embrace themselves as intact and complete— whole today and for the balance of life.
