Cancer Rehabilitation

If you are a cancer patient or survivor, it’s critical that you maintain the things in life that are important to you—your energy, your mobility, your activity level. The therapists at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab (formerly the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago) use evidenced-based treatment to address your physical and cognitive concerns caused by the disease and treatment. Our therapy programs focus on helping you to meet your challenges and achieve your highest ability.

The recovery process for cancer survivors is about achieving one’s highest potential. The Shirley Ryan AbilityLab at Silver Cross Hospital provides treatment that goes beyond medical and surgical treatment options.
