Developing a free supportive care program for cancer patients within an integrative medicine clinic SUPPORTIVE CARE IN CANCER Rosenbaum, E., Gautier, H., Fobair, P., Andrews, A., Hawn, M., Kurshner, R., Festa, B., Kramer, P., Manuel, F., Hirschberger, N., Selim, S., Spiegel, D. 2003; 11 (5): 263-269Abstract
The cancer patient's journey not only includes a threat to one's life, but the need to face many medical and emotional challenges. The free Cancer Supportive Care Program (CSCP) within the Center for Integrative Medicine Clinic at Stanford University Hospital and Clinics has been identified as a successful model for helping patients to deal with these challenges. Its programs include informational lectures, support groups, chair massages, exercise, alternative modality classes, a Life Tapes Project, an informational website, and a bimonthly newsletter available free to anybody touched by cancer. Now in its third year, this program benefits from a blending of leadership resources, availability of space, institutional agreement on patient need and funds from private and corporate donations. By presenting the basic premises of the Cancer Supportive Care program and outlining specifics about the program, institutions in various national and international demographic regions may implement similar programs according to their resources and the needs of patients. It is our hope that the CSCP can become a model for the development of similar programs in various parts of the United States and abroad.
