Cardiac rehabilitation services
Parkland provides physical therapy and rehabilitation to help you through your cancer treatment. Our therapies are designed to help you manage the side effects of treatments, such as fluid retention (lymphedema).
Cancer survivorship support groups
Life goes on after a cancer diagnosis and treatment, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. In addition to the individualized assistance you’ll receive through treatment at Parkland, we’ll help you get back to your life by enabling you to adapt to changes in your energy level and stamina.
We also provide survivorship care planning, and you can join us in celebrating your life anew at our annual Cancer Survivor Dinner.
