The WCRA is a powerhouse consultancy that provides world-class cancer rehabilitation continuing education and grows and builds vibrant, sustainable cancer rehabilitation programs for health systems and cancer centers.
In the US and across the globe, the number of cancer patients and survivors is growing at an astonishing pace. This has highlighted the ever present Cancer Rehabilitation Gap - cancer doctors and nurses don’t know enough about rehabilitation, and rehabilitation therapists don’t know enough about cancer.
The result? The very patients that come to us for help bear the brunt of our unawareness. They suffer more pain, more fatigue, more weakness, and more preventable loss than necessary. With the intent of pushing the quiet cancer rehabilitation evolution into a not so quiet revolution, the Waltke Cancer Rehabilitation was founded in 2015.
People affected by cancer deserve the finest evidence based treatment available. By pulling the worlds of rehabilitation and oncology together, we have the power to provide it to them!
