DOCTORS Hospital Health System is again supporting the efforts of the Cancer Society of the Bahamas with a donation to the annual Cancer Ball as well as mammograms and a nutrition consultation to be used as prizes on the night.

This year’s sponsorship is even more meaningful for the hospital system, which has just launched a new Cancer Rehabilitation Programme at both Doctors Hospital and Bahamas Medical Centre.

The team at the Doctors Hospital Rehab Centre offers Inpatient and Outpatient Rehabilitation services designed specifically to help Cancer patients regain their strength, endurance and independence and also offer lymphedema massage.

At Bahamas Medical Centre on Blake Road, in addition to the Outpatient Rehabilitation, patients are then encouraged to enrol in a specialised 12-week wellness programme that aims to get cancer patients healthy and moving with improved physical function, reduced fatigue and depression and following a healthy lifestyle.
