GBMC Health Check: Integrative Wellness Palliative Medicine

Cancer is much more than a medical diagnosis. Caring for the mind, body, and spirit to enhance emotional wellness is just as important.

The Integrative Wellness Palliative Medicine program at GBMC offers evidence-based holistic services that work hand in hand with the latest clinical treatments. Services help prevent and manage symptoms for cancer patients who are experiencing pain, fatigue, depression, or anxiety.

"Our team offers educational guidance for each patient that can include meditation, guided imagery, acupuncture, and yoga – all in service of caring for the mind, body, and spirit," Lolly Forsythe-Chisolm, MS, Mind Body Specialist at GBMC, said.

For patients, it is a relief to be cared for beyond their diagnosis and to have more holistic approaches to pain management that were simple and effective. We're more than just healthcare providers. We're your team. At GBMC, we face cancer, together.
