InspireHealth ONLINE

InspireHealth is aiming to make integrative cancer care available to those all across the province who cannot travel to their centers, so to that end, this online program is designed to be accessed from anywhere in BC. Through the program, patients will have access to their healthcare practitioners and learn powerful ways to alleviate symptoms of treatment, reduce the likelihood of recurrence, and optimize the body’s healing potential.

The fall program starts on September 10, 2013. Interested participants can find more information and the registration form at www.inspirehealth.ca/online
