Holistic/Support Services
A cancer diagnosis can be very stressful for patients and their families. Memorial’s Centers for Cancer Support have a full range of holistic care for the mind, body and spirit—from education and financial support information to dietary counseling, stress management and more. All support services are free to cancer patients regardless of where they receive their treatment.
Massage Therapy
Relax. Breathe. Let go. To ease tightened and aching muscles from physical discomfort or stress, Memorial offers appointments with a massage therapist specially trained to work with cancer patients. Other relaxation options include Healing Touch, which combines prayer, therapeutic touch and essential oils, and Tai Chi, a form of exercise for stress reduction and balance improvement.
Massage is available at Memorial and Memorial North Park hospitals. Healing Touch and Tai Chi are offered at Memorial Hospital.
Chaplain Services
As you and your family face cancer diagnosis, treatment and survival, Memorial’s chaplains are available for counseling and prayer. Your needs may require only a brief prayer or a more intensive faith discussion. Our mission is to provide aid, comfort and respect.
Chaplain services are available at Memorial and Memorial North Park hospitals.
