St. Elizabeth's Services Cancer Care Cancer Support Services

Cancer Support Services

We are dedicated to helping our cancer patients and their families navigate through their diagnosis, treatment and recovery. In addition to our state-of-the-art cancer center, we offer a wide range of services and care options.

Therapy Services

Occupational, speech and physical therapy are helpful for cancer patients from the initial diagnosis, through survivorship or the end stages of care. Cancer and its treatment sometimes improve physical abilities, but not functional outcomes. Therapy interventions, like St. Elizabeth’s Oncology Wellness Program assists those undergoing cancer treatments to improve their quality of care.

HSHS St. Elizabeth’s outpatient therapy clinics are conveniently located in O’Fallon, Belleville, Mascoutah and Edwardsville. Call 618-624-3668 to make an appointment.
