I-CAN Integrative Cancer Group Medical Visit

Are you looking for guidance on your journey back to health after cancer? Our I-CAN Integrative Cancer Group Medical Visit program brings together individuals who have recovered from cancer treatment for shared medical visits focused on health and well-being.

This small group program connects individuals who want to move beyond disease to more vibrant health.

Over 12 weeks of shared medical visits, you will be empowered to redefine your personal wellness journey through learning about and experiencing healthy nutrition, naturopathic medicine, acupuncture, Tai Chi, mindfulness, aromatherapy, and recommended supplements that are safe and supported by science.

You will be introduced to a group of expert providers who will guide and accompany you on your new path. Come join us and experience thriving beyond cancer!

Because of the group sessions, I was able to see the full process of seeing a naturopathic doctor. The information Dr. Colvard shared with us has just been phenomenal for me. She is a tremendous naturopathic doctor.

… The group sessions are wonderful!
