Oncology Program

Though our bodies and spirits can be hurt, with strength

we are never broken.

Find your strength®.Find your

strength.®

There’s much more to treating cancer than treating the

disease itself. Our oncology rehabilitation programs

address everything from medication needs to physical

therapy to psychological support and more. Here,

patients and their families can find strength at every

step of their journey.

The Oncology Program of the Spaulding Rehabilitation Network

delivers specialized expertise in oncology care and rehabilitation,

with multiple levels of care to meet your individual needs. No

matter what your diagnosis or phase of treatment, our goal is the

same: to provide medical and specialty care to improve your

quality of life and help you achieve the highest possible level of

independence. Advances in understanding cancer, coupled with

advances in medical interventions and rehabilitation techniques,

offer new opportunities to make it happen.

As a patient within the Spaulding Network, you and your family

members become members of a team of knowledgeable, dedicated

oncology experts. We emphasize education to provide you and

your family with a comprehensive understanding of the disease and

its effects, as well as to help our clinicians determine the level of

support to provide.
