Feb 2005 - Present
Rehab therapists often don’t know enough about cancer and cancer practitioners often don’t know enough about rehab. Because of this “cancer rehab gap,” I’ve invented world class cancer rehabilitation consulting, program development and online and onsite continuing education courses for rehab and oncology providers, improving access and quality of cancer rehabilitation for people with cancer.- Created a powerhouse cancer rehabilitation consultancy that strives to reduce the unnecessary suffering and functional loss felt by cancer patients and survivors, helping our patients with cancer remain healthier during treatment, and recover better, faster and more confident after treatment - By creating programs, best practices, developing disease specific pathways, building expertise, and measuring results, we can help you build your cancer rehab program and educate your therapists to improve both program and patient outcomes, helping to make the world a better for people with cancer Show less
