Other Services for ForeverFit Patients
Cuisine for Healing
After a session, cancer patients can continue to stay on a healthy course by picking up nutritious meals. The Cuisine for Healing Outreach Food Program is providing free meals designed to bolster the immune system, clear the body of toxins and help the person recover faster. The program is offering ForeverFit clients 20% of all the meals they order from Cuisine for Healing and are provided free delivery. However, if a patient is 150% below the federal poverty index, they qualify for Cuisine for Healing’s Medically Referred program and may be eligible for free meals.
Shine Therapy
Shine Therapy will offer oncology massage, which has been shown to ease the emotional and physical stress of treatment and recovery. Oncology massage therapists have been trained to understand the body changes caused by chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, and are sensitive to cancer survivor’s needs.
