News Corner
*Now offering the STAR Program in Minnesota...* The STAR Program was developed by the professionals at Oncology Rehabilitation Partners and led by Dr. Julie Silver to aid cancer survivors in their quest to regain their lives. Even the best cancer treatments can sometimes cause debilitating side effects. Inspired by the premise, NovaCare Rehabilitation in Minnesota has obtained a special certification to specifically help cancer survivors. Known as the STAR Program^® Certification, the new designation allows qualifying NovaCare Rehabilitation clinics to offer premium oncology rehabilitation services. To qualify, each clinic successfully demonstrated it could combine conventional medicine with an evidence-based, standardized model of oncology rehabilitation service, successfully implement a program evaluation and implement new treatment protocols and rehabilitation training. Through the certification, patients will benefit from new services covered by health insurance providers. The new services will be delivered by clinical staff trained in how to help survivors of all forms of cancer.
