Clinical Staff

Rehabilitation services are provided by a multidisciplinary team whose most important members are the patient and family. Our clinicians draw upon an internal training program based not only on the current medical literature, but also on outside training specific to treatment techniques for oncology patients. The rehabilitation team works with the referring physician to establish a treatment program specific to individual needs. The services provided are short term in nature and are designed to foster patient independence.
