MIDDLETOWN, R.I. — Women & Infants Hospital is opening a new wellness center at 333 Valley Road in Middletown this month, as part of its Integrative Care Program.
Operating within the hospital's Program in Women's Oncology, the Center for Health and Well-Being will offer a menu of complementary therapies for oncology patients as well as wellness programming to appeal to all women.
"We will offer the full range of complementary therapies, traditional and innovative health and wellness programming, and a women's health library full of resource materials on a variety of topics, from cancer to infertility to post-partum depression," said Sandra Scuncio, director of the Integrative Care Program.
Lymphedema therapy, specialized massage for women who have had surgery for breast or gynecologic cancer, is one of the treatments that will be offered at the Middletown site. Others include acupuncture, therapeutic massage, reiki, hypnotherapy, guided imagery, reflexology, meditation, facials and skin care.
In addition, there will be programs dedicated to weight loss, exercise, and nutrition, plus lectures, a weight loss clinic and yoga sessions. Eventually, there are plans to offer counseling services for cancer patients.
Funding to establish Newport the site was provided through a grant from the van Beuren Charitable Foundation.
