The Nancy G. Hoffman Complementary Health Services
Little things can make a big difference for those undergoing cancer treatment.
The Nancy G. Hoffman Complementary Health Services honors a local woman’s
wishes to help women manage the stress of cancer treatment. Volunteers
raise funds and provide many of the services themselves in her memory.
Handmade robes, that are kept by the patients, have replaced hospital gowns
for women undergoing radiation therapy. Massage therapy and music therapy
help reduce anxiety. Classes in yoga, meditation and biofeedback promote
relaxation and self-control.
Excela Health Home Care and Hospice
If help is needed, specially trained home care staff can make recovery
or ongoing treatment at home easier. Services, including chemotherapy,
medication management and education, injections, intravenous therapy,
home health aides, palliative care and rehabilitation, to name a few,

Hospice Care
When you learn that someone you love is terminally ill, the news is difficult
itself. Caring for that loved one shouldn’t be. This Medicare certified
program offers symptom control, pain management, physical, emotional,
psychosocial, spiritual and practical support for our patients …
and their families.
