Supportive Care Physician Consultation

Our team of supportive care physicians are with you every step of the way with knowledge, guidance and support.

As an InspireHealth patient, you will have access to a 60-minute consultation with one of our medical doctors. This comprehensive consultation includes a discussion of your medical history, social support, and emotional well-being. There is an opportunity to discuss any questions, concerns, stresses or decision-making challenges that you may have.

The role of our physicians is to provide guidance on supportive approaches to enhance quality of life, health and well-being at diagnosis, while going through cancer and its treatments, or any time thereafter.  Follow-up visits are available if needed.
