TurningPoint Participates in the Development of Innovative Model of Breast Cancer Rehabilitation with the American Cancer Society.

TurningPoint Women's Healthcare is proud to be part of an international initiative that introduces an innovative model of breast cancer rehabilitation. The model proposes that all women receive rehabilitation assessment pre-operatively, early post-operatively and on an ongoing basis. The goal is to detect, reduce and manage the physical side effects of breast cancer treatment and encourage exercise. The  proposed model of rehabilitation was published in April, 2012 special supplement to the journal Cancer.
