Powers Health’s oncology rehabilitation programs earned accreditation as a Center of Excellence in Oncology Rehabilitation from the Physiological Oncology Rehabilitation Institute.
The oncology programs attained national bronze-level accreditation that recognizes "a commitment to delivering high-quality, evidence-based oncology rehabilitation services through specialized training, clinical care and patient support."
“This accreditation reflects the dedication our rehabilitation team has for providing exceptional, patient-centered care for those living with and beyond cancer,” said John Doherty, vice president of Therapy Services and Sports Medicine for Powers Health. “Achieving this status validates the specialized expertise of our clinicians and our commitment to delivering oncology rehabilitation services that help patients regain function, improve quality of life and navigate their cancer journey with confidence.”
Powers Health’s oncology rehabilitation programs provide individualized therapy plans to help cancer patients with side effects that affect mobility, strength, endurance, balance, swallowing, speech and quality of life. They help patients attain best outcomes while maintaining their independence.
“There are 90 PORi Centers of Excellence nationwide and only six in Indiana. Powers Health has four of them: St. Catherine Hospital in East Chicago, Community Hospital Outpatient Center in Munster, Powers Health Rehabilitation Center in Crown Point and St. Mary Medical Center Outpatient Center in Hobart,” Doherty said. “This represents our unmatched commitment to cancer patients in Northwest Indiana and Chicago’s south suburbs.”
