Mission Statement
Orion is a multi-dimensional consortium of healing providers creating a tranquil healing and wellness center. We provide cutting edge, evidence-based integrative care for those touched by cancer. We transform cancer care by expanding the science through research and completing the cure through care.
About This Cause
The Orion Center for Integrative Medicine emerged as a response to the contemporary Western healthcare system’s approach to cancer treatment. This is the best time in history to have a cancer diagnosis. People who would have previously died from cancer are now living with no evidence of disease. But these cures come with a significant cost. Many treatments are so targeted and intensive that survivors often endure challenging latent effects and diminished quality of life. At Orion Center for Integrative Medicine, we believe that these consequences can be ameliorated when treating the whole person through integrative medicine. A comprehensive body of research reveals that when a whole person—body, mind, and spirit—is cared for and supported during cancer treatment, their experience of the healing process is improved and, in some cases, chances of survival may increase. Integrative cancer care augments traditional cancer treatment therapies that help people feel better and do better. A growing body of scientific evidence supports the use of therapies such as acupuncture, massage, yoga, tai chi, arts, and psychological interventions to improve physical and emotional functioning during and after cancer treatment. Despite research demonstrating the benefits of the above integrative medicine interventions, these therapies have yet to be integrated into standard cancer care practices. While pharmaceutical companies have the resources to take basic biological research findings from the lab bench to the bedside – by conducting large scale clinical trials and marketing new drugs – there is no similar pipeline to get integrative medicine research findings to the clinic. As a result, most physicians and patients remain unaware of research supporting integrative medicine, and do not benefit from these therapies. The Orion Center for Integrative Medicine seeks to fill this knowledge and care gap by providing cancer survivors with a catalogue of clinical therapies while simultaneously conducting research to add to the growing body of evidence for their effectiveness and thus pave the way for making these therapies the standard of cancer care.
