Our unique Cancer Rehabilitation and Fatigue Management Program provides patients with an individualized plan aimed at reducing fatigue and restoring quality of life.

- Access to physical and occupational therapists
- Safe, comfortable treamtent environment
In this video, Bobby Eden fulfills a dream to skydive. At one point during his battle with cancer, he was confined to a wheelchair, too weak to walk. After working with Mary in the Cancer Rehab and Fatigue Management program, he's able to check this one off the bucket list.
Helping Others Manage Fatigue
Fatigue is an issue related to cancer care, but can also be a problem for patients who have fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and chronic fatigue syndrome to name a few. The professionals at Northland Cancer Center's Fatigue Management program can help with your physical and mental health, at a time when you need it most.
