One of the first of its kind in the country, the Cancer Rehabilitation Program at Allied Services Rehabilitation Hospital helps patients and their caregivers to maximize ability and independence and minimize many of the complications associated with cancer and its treatment.
Inpatient Services
- Helping patients with reducing fatigue, increasing vigor and strength, improving mood, and boosting the immune system.

- pain or difficulty moving caused by bone tumors
- swelling of arms after breast cancer
- speech or swallowing disorders after neck or throat surgery
