Have you heard of the What's On Your Mind program?

What's On Your Mind is a free counseling program at Stoddard Cancer Center that exists thanks to donor support. Last year, 268 patients and families received counseling services, helping them navigate the mental and emotional challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis.

Thank you to all who support this critical program, giving patients and families access to mental health support throughout their cancer journey. 💙

Up to 80% of cancer survivors experience physical, cognitive or functional challenges after treatment, but many don't realize rehabilitation can help. Our oncology rehabilitation team helps patients regain strength, improve mobility and return to the activities they love, because recovery is about more than just treating cancer, it's also about helping patients live well into the future.

UnityPoint Clinic Des Moines therapy services at Penn Avenue offer comprehensive, patient-centered physical rehabilitation services with convenient hours to meet your needs.
