INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE PROGRAM
Answer to Cancer is proud to be the primary sponsor of the Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital's Scully-Welsh Integrative Medicine Program. This program is dedicated to improving the quality of life for cancer patients treating the symptoms they experience as a result of their treatments. We are committed to raising funds to support this important initiative and help make a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of Answer to Cancer, our Integrative Medicine Program at the Scully-Welsh Cancer Center continues to expand its reach and impact. Integrative Medicine allows us to care for the whole person - not just the illness - by combining evidence-based therapies like acupuncture, massage, mindfulness, and nutrition with traditional cancer treatment. This approach helps patients manage symptoms, reduce stress, and restore a sense of balance and well-being throughout their journey. The continued support of Answer to Cancer makes this level of compassionate, comprehensive care possible for every patient we serve.
- Brian Burkey, MD,MEd, Director of the Scully-Welsh Cancer Center.
