HOPE Fund
Helping Oncology Patients Endure

Why do we support integrative medicine?

The Shannon's Path team wholeheartedly believes in the positive impact holistic medical approaches can play in one's cancer journey. For Shannon, therapeutic counseling, acupuncture, reiki, fitness classes, mindfulness, naturopathic medicine, therapeutic massage, and yoga allowed her to develop and maintain the mindset to confront one of life's greatest challenges. And, through these programs, she was also able to continue being present for her entire family during this difficult time. Shannon made complete use of all therapies available to her and we are honored to have the opportunity to help others follow Shannon's path while on their own cancer journey.
