To assist our newly diagnosed firefighter patients

To assist our newly diagnosed firefighter patients who choose to explore alternative and non-medical therapies while going through standard treatment methods (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation) we are adding an Integrative Oncology Program. Integrative oncology is the use of therapies that complement standard treatment methods with a whole person approach–body, mind, and spirit. Integrative therapies are centered around wellness education and support in areas of diet, exercise, and sleep to minimize side effects of treatment, as well as modalities that alleviate feelings of anxiety, fear and depression. It is our pleasure to introduce our Integrative Oncology Consultant, Kathleen Cavanaugh, NP, MSN: "My name is Kathleen Cavanaugh and I am honored to join the Foundation as an integrative oncology consultant. I have over 20 years of medical experience caring for people with cancer. I am a Nurse Practitioner at the UCSF Helen Diller Comprehensive Cancer Center where I have worked in various settings including the Osher Center for Integrative Health. I am a member of the Society of Integrative Oncology as well as the American Holistic Nursing Association. I was raised outside of Philadelphia and moved to San Francisco in 2001. I completed my undergraduate nursing degree at Widener University and then attended UCSF where I completed the nurse practitioner program with a focus in integrative medicine. I then completed a 2-year Fellowship through the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. ❗️Kathleen's bio is continued in the comments 👇
