Cancer Support

Programs

Woman to Woman Support Group

Woman’s provides a monthly support group for women with gynecological cancer. Regular meetings provide support and education for survivors and their families.

Lymphedema Management

Lymphedema Management is designed for those with lymphedema or who have had breast surgery with lymph nodes removed. Physical and occupational therapists are available to help the patient be as independent as possible in her daily activities.

Upon physician referral, therapists evaluate each patient’s level of physical activity and prescribe exercises to maintain or increase functional ability. Woman’s therapists are certified lymphedema specialists and can customize therapy to the unique needs of our lymphedema patients.
