Integrative Therapies In-patient Referrals

The Integrative Therapies team provides supportive care for patients on adult and pediatric hematology/oncology, heart and lung transplant, and palliative care services by offering meditation, relaxation, yoga, tai chi, and massage therapy sessions at no cost to the recipients. All sessions are guided by patient-centered goals and individualized to meet the patient’s current needs. Practitioners teach patients tools, empowering them to meet their goals between sessions and after discharge. Consultation requests are available through EPIC orders via a nurse or doctor. Call Arts in Medicine at (352) 733-0880 for more information.
