Wellness Programs
RBOI partners with area Wellness Programs to help you, your family, and caregivers improve quality of life during and after cancer treatment. Some programs are given at our facilities, while others take place elsewhere in our area. All of RBOI’s support groups and programs are available to cancer survivors.
You can help increase your independence and quality of life by taking action to live as healthy as you can following a diagnosis of cancer. Below are resources for the three top interventions to lower your risk of future cancers and increase your health.
