Integrated Cancer Center Adds Support Group to Wellness Offerings

The Integrated Cancer Center, a partnership between Grand River Medical Group’s Medical Oncology Clinic and UnityPoint Health – Wendt Regional Cancer Center, added a Cancer Support Group to its wellness offerings for cancer patients.

Led by Integrated Cancer Center team members, the support group was created with all cancer patients in mind, no matter where they are in their cancer journey.

“We are hoping to continue growing this group as a safe place for cancer patients – those who are recently diagnosed, in active treatment, or in remission – to meet and learn from each other and support each other,” said Charlye Jenkins, manager of the Wendt Regional Cancer Center. “It also offers an opportunity for patients to talk one-on-one with our team and answer any questions they have.”

The group meets on the third Wednesday of each month from 3 to 4 p.m. in Suite 3300 of the Delhi Medical Center, 1500 Delhi St., in Dubuque. Topics discussed range from nutrition and symptom management to financial and emotional support.

“While we have a framework in mind for each meeting, we also encourage free discussion – sharing stories, tips and encouragement as each patient feels comfortable,” said Bobye Manning, Oncology Site Coordinator for Grand River Medical Group. “We are thrilled to offer this monthly opportunity to connect these patients on their journeys.”

The Cancer Support Group is the latest addition to the Integrated Cancer Center’s Integrated Wellness Program.

The program’s other offerings include:

  • Oncology rehabilitation, with the goal of improving daily function and quality of life for every patient through preventative, restorative, supportive and palliative interventions.
  • An exercise program to improve strength, endurance, and mobility.
