LanieFrancis, M.D., a hematologist and medical oncologist at Hillman Cancer Center, was searching for ways to further support her patients through what can sometimes be a long and complex cancer journey. Many of her patients asked how they could help themselves, which sparked her interest in integrative cancer care, a comprehensive approach addressing both the body and the mind.
As a result of her patients’ inquiries, Dr. Francis secured a grant from the Shadyside Hospital Foundation to organize the inaugural Integrative Cancer Wellness Fair. The event will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 23 from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Herberman Conference Center at the UPMC Cancer Pavilion..
