What an Integrative Oncology Survivorship Center Looks Like: Take a podcast tour with us and their awesome manager

Everything Cancer

In episode 32 of Everything Cancer, we delve into the impactful work of Prisma Health Cancer Institute's Center for Integrative Oncology Survivorship and Center for Cancer Prevention and Wellness.

Jason King, Assistant Manager at the Center, takes us on a tour, explaining how they’ve expanded over the past 11 years with the growing recognition of the need for whole-person survivorship care. The center has grown from a small team of three into a bustling team of 33 dedicated, multidisciplinary members.
Their comprehensive program offers a wide range of services tailored to cancer survivors, from diagnosis through three to five years after treatment.

The Center focuses on whole-person care, addressing survivors' physical, emotional, and practical challenges.

With services like oncology rehab, dietitian, sexual health, and social work visits, the Center is designed to meet whole-person survivors' needs during and after treatment. This integrative approach ensures that survivors receive the support they need to navigate life through and beyond cancer treatment.

A key highlight is the Center’s Lifetime Clinics, which serve as an "oncology home" for patients three to five years post-treatment. These clinics provide ongoing care, helping survivors manage long-term effects and maintain their health.

Jason discusses the importance of integrative oncology. By treating the whole person and collaborating with external resources, such as acupuncture and massage therapy, when needed, the Center ensures that survivors feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout their journey.

This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in how whole-person, survivor-centered care can significantly improve quality of life. Tune in to learn how Jason and his team are making a meaningful difference in the lives of cancer survivors by offering a comprehensive model of care that truly puts the patient first.
