No cancer journey is ever easy but the Susan P. Wheatlake Regional Cancer Center seeks to help. The comprehensive treatment facility in Reed City brings together a full range of services for patients and families on a cancer journey. Operations Manager Samantha Triplett joined us to talk about the center and how it is meeting needs in a region of Michigan where cancer services were not readily available. Triplett said their team offers imaging, radiation, chemotherapy, and wellness services.
They just completed a $3-million pharmacy expansion. Their Wellness Center offers FREE services including a lending library, boutique, gift shop and an integrative therapy room. Patients can borrow educational materials from the center and also receive free massages and integrative therapy services. There are support groups and educational sessions to assist patients on the road to recovery. The Wheatlake Wellness Path is a beautiful, winding path that meanders through the center’s property. It features multiple benches, trees, a fountain, healing gardens, reflection spaces and picnic areas. The flat paved surface is completely accessible for everyone. Video.
