PENINSULA CANCER INSTITUTE FUND

 

                  We are very excited to announce the PCI FUND, a  not-for-profit fund under the umbrella of the Riverside Foundation that supports cancer research as well as other free services for cancer patients provided by our integrative medicine program.  The integrative program includes massage therapy, nutritional counseling, music therapy, family services, and patient education.

If you would like to donate in memory or honor of someone special, donations can be mailed to the PCI Fund and addressed to any of our 3 locations. You can even determine if the donation goes towards research or  towards our integrative program—just indicate as such. If you have any questions, feel free to call us at any time.

 

 

Lymphedema Prevention Program

 

 

         PCI is also very thrilled to announce the beginning of a brand new, innovative program designed for breast cancer patients who may be at risk for lymphedema.  The incurable disease of lymphedema can be an unfortunate  side-effect of a life-saving cancer treatment so it only seems right to offer our patient the tools they need to possibly prevent it.  PCI believes in being  proactive and so we want to give our patients the best information possible to aid in preventing lymphedema.  The program was developed with the idea of treating the whole person—not just the disease.  With that in mind, the approach of this course is aimed at prevention via the mind, body, and spirit.  Through education and actions in living well  we can give some amount of control back to the patient.  This program is sponsored by the Dept of Integrative Services and is facilitated by Amy Hunt, CMT, CLT   757-345-5724
