Department of Rehabilitation Services

Rehabilitation (noun): The process of restoration of skills by a person who has had an illness or injury so as to regain maximum self-sufficiency and function in a normal or as near normal manner as possible. (Definition credited to medterms.com)

Cancer and its treatment can interfere with one's ability to engage in necessary and meaningful activities of daily living (ADL's). The rehabilitation specialists in City of Hope's Department of Rehabilitation Services strive to minimize these effects to ensure the patient maintains or regains the maximum degree of function, comfort, and quality of life possible at any stage of the cancer journey. Rehabilitation services are available to both inpatients and outpatients of all ages.
