Fred Hutch Integrative Medicine
Phone: 206.606.5500
At Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, we believe state-of-the-art care includes support for the healing of our patients in body, mind and spirit.
Integrative oncology is an evidence-based field of cancer care that utilizes mind-body practices, natural products and/or lifestyle modifications from different traditions alongside conventional cancer treatments. Our integrative medicine providers have expertise in mind-body medicine, acupuncture and naturopathic medicine.
For your safety, we have temporarily canceled all in-person classes and events. This includes transplant and nutrition classes, yoga, gong bath meditation, crafts, and other patient groups that meet at Fred Hutch and our housing facilities.
For updated information on COVID-19 as it relates to our clinics and community, please view our COVID-19 information page.
During your first appointment, your Integrative Medicine provider will take a thorough history about your health and lifestyle. Together, you will discuss your health and wellness goals and work with you to design an individualized plan to help you achieve them. Our providers collaborate closely with Fred Hutch providers from all supportive care services, including medical nutrition, physical therapy, psychology/psychiatry, social work and spiritual health, to improve quality of life during all stages of cancer care and survivorship. Our providers can refer to all services at Fred Hutch as needed for optimal support for you.
Fred Hutch Integrative Medicine services are currently available to all hematology oncology patients receiving care at the South Lake Union clinic. Integrative medicine therapies and practices can be empowering therapeutic tools to help relieve cancer and treatment-related side effects as well as improve overall wellness and quality of life at any point following a cancer diagnosis.
