Fund a Cause

We seek to expand the health and wellness center for the growing number of cancer patients we serve each year. The Northwell Health Cancer Institute at Phelps offers health and wellness services to patients to complement their medical care. These include integrative medicine therapies such as reiki, reflexology, gentle touch massage and acupuncture. They include services such as counseling, spiritual support and nutrition consultation from a registered dietician who specializes in oncology. These services and therapies are complementary care used alongside standard care to enhance the quality of life of our cancer patients. They can help patients manage their cancer symptoms and side effects of treatment.

As our Cancer Institute has expanded so has our need for space. The Health and Wellness Center is currently located in temporary space. Our vision is to bring this center to a more convenient location for our patients, designed with peaceful, soothing aesthetics that promote healing and wellness. We also seek to expand programming offered by the center, over time, to include exercise oncology.

“We love our patients. Expanding our health and wellness center will allow us to better serve our community and introduce new services, such as exercise oncology, which will improve their fitness and well-being, and support their treatment journey.”
