Oncology Rehab's vision is that rehabilitation will be prescribed to all patients who undergo treatment for cancer, as a standard component of their cancer treatment.

For a long time, we have wanted to start a nonprofit foundation that contributes to making that vision a reality. Along with Connie Carson, PhD, CCC-SLP, Oncology Rehab's team has officially launched a nonprofit foundation, EPOCH.

EPOCH's mission is to support professional providers whose focus is on the physical and psycho-social health of cancer survivors beyond their primary treatment regimens of chemotherapy, radiation therapy or cancer surgeries.

During November 2017, Alaina Newell worked with Fight Colorectal Cancer (Fight CRC) to do a webinar on the benefits and misconceptions of physical therapy rehabilitation for colorectal concers....

1400 S. Potomac Street
Suite 105
Aurora, CO 80012

Please call us for more information, the contact details are the same as our other locations.

Oncology Rehab has a very special opportunity to share with you.  We started working with the nonprofit organization, Living Beyond Breast Cancer (LBBC), when they first brought their signature fund raiser, Yoga on the Steps, to Cheesman Park in 2012.  Since then, Oncology Rehab has had a team of yoga “warriors” each year represented at the event and has participated in many of their community outreach programs.  The mission of LBBC to "connect people with trusted breast cancer information and a community of support" just makes sense to us here at OR, and we formed a natural alliance with an organization such as theirs.  To find out more about the organization please visit their website: LBBC.org

This year, LBBC is going even further in their support of the Denver community.  They are bringing their annual conference to our home town.  Oncology Rehab is very excited to be a part of Wellness Weekend, September 18 – 20, 2015 in Denver, CO for a weekend dedicated to you.  Wellness Weekend brings together LBBC’s annual fall conference, Breast Cancer Today: Individual Treatments, Shared Experiences and Yoga on the Steps: Denver for three days of connection, information and inspiration.

They are also inviting all Oncology Rehab patients to participate with a special promotional code to attend the conference for free.  Just use promotional code "OCguest" when registering as an early-bird participant.

Over the course of the weekend, you will:

• Gain tips and advice on eating well, living well, and finding empowerment and resiliency after a breast cancer diagnosis.

• Learn from medical experts about the latest topics in breast cancer like Genetic Testing, Research and Treatment Updates, Managing Side Effects and more...
• Connect with others who have similar experiences by following one of our conference tracks or attending the welcome reception, networking breaks or other social outings like our film night with Rethink Breast Cancer or going to the ballpark to see the Colorado Rockies with new friends.
• Find balance and inspiration. Share in a community of collective strength by participating in an all-levels outdoor yoga class on Sunday morning in beautiful Cheesman Park.
• If you plan to join, please consider joining the Oncology Rehab Warriors.  Simply go to the link for "join a team" and scroll down to find our team name to join.  Several of our therapists will be representing OR on the team, and we hope to have our biggest representation yet this year!

To learn more about the conference sessions and the special activities during the weekend, visit lbbc.org/fallconference.  Remember that even if you can only participate in the conference Friday evening/Saturday or the yoga event Sunday, it is sure to be a wonderful use of your time.  We hope to see you for the whole weekend’s festivities!
