Integrative Oncology
Integrative oncology is a patient-centered, evidence-based field of cancer care that utilizes mind and body practices, natural products, lifestyle modifications and modalities from different traditions alongside conventional cancer treatments. At St. Joseph's Cancer Institute, we believe in helping guide our patients through their cancer journey while offering them the best of both conventional medicine and complementary modalities.
We offer a wide array of complementary therapies to our patients at no charge:
- Therapeutic nutrition counseling with an oncology-certified dietitian
- Patient and family counseling by our navigator team
- Massage therapy
- Healthy snacks and food options in our infusion centers
- Music therapy program
- A take-home welcome kit that includes a journal, sanitizer and water bottle
- Pet therapy
- Yoga classes
