Nutritional support program
Bite into a Healthy Lifestyle
Our Nutritional Support program provides our cancer community support during and after treatment to help prevent or resolve nutritional deficiencies, achieve and maintain a healthy weight, preserve body mass and minimize nutrition related side effects. These are all crucial aspects to successfully completing treatment.
Free nutritional counseling is rare in the outpatient world but the benefits are significant. For people suffering from side effects of radiation therapy or chemotherapy, it can make all the difference in the world between tolerating therapy and giving up. And this service is FREE!!
