The Integrative Medicine Service provides evidence-based complementary therapies to improve our patients’ experiences, physical outcomes, emotional wellness, and quality of life. 

Our diverse multidisciplinary team includes medicine, acupuncture, massage therapy, creative arts therapies, mind-body therapies, and exercise. We offer a patient-centered approach that evaluates and helps people manage the emotional burden of their diagnosis and complications that arise from cancer treatment. 

Our team of experts provides nurturing therapies that address chronic issues such as pain, neuropathy, fatigue and insomnia, stress, anxiety, mobility, and more. 

Since 1999, our Integrative Medicine Service has been leading the field in innovative, patient-centered research. Our doctors and researchers studying how integrative therapies can be used to better control or reduce the side effects of cancer treatment. 

Through activities like fellowships, onsite training programs, online courses, and our award-winning About Herbs library, we teach and train health care providers about best clinical practices, and the value of integrative medicine in cancer care.
