Ottawa Integrative Cancer Centre

CCNM’s Ottawa Integrative Cancer Centre (OICC), which opened in Fall 20, is a model multi-disciplinary flagship centre providing whole-person integrative care to people with cancer, cancer survivors, and those seeking both primary and secondary cancer prevention.

The centre has been established to provide for the growing number of patients interested in receiving naturopathic and complementary support alongside their conventional cancer treatments.

Our team works with patients and their families to help decrease the side effects of cancer treatment; improve the energy, well being and overall quality of health; balance the body’s immune system; support the mind, body and spirit in the healing process; and provide strategies (support) for cancer prevention and health maintenance.

We do this through nutrition and lifestyle counselling, Intravenous (IV) therapy, registered massage therapy, physiotherapy, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine.

The OICC will be the first integrative oncology and research centre in Eastern Canada to provide care, advocacy and education for the use of whole-person care to the cancer community and health-care practitioners, regionally and nationally.
