July 2021

Healthy living is a primary focus of Massey’s Integrative Health program. Whether the focus is nutrition, physical activity, mind-body programs or activities aimed to improve your quality of life after receiving a cancer diagnosis, we’re here for you. We offer a wide variety of topics each month. If there’s a topic you want to learn more about, we’d like to hear from you. We’re honored to be a part of your health care team, whether you’re newly diagnosed, in active treatment, seeking a second opinion or have completed treatment. Email susan.chandler@vcuhealth.org with any thoughts, questions or suggestions. We welcome your inquiries!

Massey does not endorse all integrative health practices. We only recommend those that are known to be safe and have the potential to improve health when used alongside, and never in place of, professional medical care. All cancer patients are advised to consult with their physician before starting any integrative health practice, as some may interfere with medical care.
