Forte Forever – Helping You Beat Cancer!
Keeping your body strong and healthy during treatment is one of the best things you can do to improve outcomes and minimize side effects. Our Cancer Support program offers a revolutionary and comprehensive approach to reduce problems like hair loss and weakness. Your team of doctors and specialists will develop a plan specifically designed for your treatment program, health needs, and goals.
One Team/One Place—All your meetings with specialists and the activities in your program will take place at one of our unique clinics AND they are also available virtually when it’s not convenient to come in.
Your Cancer Support plan will help you stay active, optimize your nutrition, and maximize your health and strength throughout treatment. Then when it’s done, we’ll work with you to optimize your health to reduce the chance of recurrence.
We work with your insurance company to minimize your out-of-pocket costs.
We’re in-network with hundreds of insurance plans! Call us to see if you’re covered.
The Forte Forever wellness program includes:
Medical Supervision
We work together with your oncology specialist. Forte’s Cancer Support program is supervised by our medical team and focuses on keeping your body strong, minimizing treatment side effects, and enhancing your recovery post treatment.
Nutrition, Meal Planning, and Cooking
Optimal nutrition is essential to help your body during treatment and afterwards to maintain optimal strength and health. Our dietitians will help you plan meals that are healthy, easy, and delicious for you and your family. Many people lose their appetite during treatment which makes maximizing the benefits of what you feel like eating even more important. Your experts will help you with balanced nutrition to ensure you meet the special needs your body has. You are also welcome to attend the regular Forte Forever cooking classes with expert chefs so you can learn how to make simple delicious meals you’ll be proud to serve your family and friends.
Strength and Flexibility
Maintaining strength and flexibility is very important. It is also helps you achieve a full and complete recovery so you can continue to do the things you love. Our licensed physical therapists, occupational therapists, yoga, health coaches and strength instructors will work with you to develop a personalized program based around activities you enjoy to improve your strength, flexibility, and balance. We offer many options to make it fun and easy to improve your fitness:
- Group sessions in our gym
- One-on-one sessions with our certified trainers
- Virtual classes offering yoga, flexibility, and strength training in the comfort of your home
Forte’s Cancer Support will help you maintain and enhance strength and well-being. Then when your treatments are over your team will help you become strong and flexible for the rest of your life.
Motivation and Mental Patterns
We understand what you are going through right now. Members of our staff have also battled cancer. A positive and healthy mindset is so beneficial when fighting a complex disease like cancer. Beyond the “good days and bad days” we all struggle with things that hold us back, discourage and de-motivate us from achieving our goals. This is another key area that makes our Cancer Support so unique. Our licensed clinicians will help you identify anything that is holding you back, help you overcome fears, transform unhealthy habits, and build confidence so you can develop and maintain healthier habits and mindsets to help you through this hard time. Renewed hope, motivation, and enthusiasm is powerful.
Forte Forever
Knowledge is Power. Now that your Forte team has worked with you to develop a highly personalized plan to beat this thing, our Forte Forever app provides information and encouragement to keep you on track. It works with Apple, Android, desktops, and tablets to help your track your progress and stay focused on your goals. It’s available at no charge to all Forte Forever program patients.
In Person AND Virtual
Virtual services are great for convenience, but when you need medical assessment or testing, training, and encouragement, face-to-face is always more effective and efficient. That’s why Forte Forever programs and professionals are all available in-person at our convenient locations where you can meet with:
- your doctor and medical team
- take cooking classes with expert chefs
- workout in our gym individually with a certified fitness instructor or licensed physical therapist
- enjoy group workouts and classes
- meet face to face with our licensed clinicians
We know that some days you may not feel like leaving home to come to our “everything under one roof” clinics for appointments, advice, counseling, and classes…so nearly all our holistic services are available online too! With Forte Forever you always have access to your benefits and programs at any time, wherever you are.
