Eastern Rehabilitation Network, in collaboration with The Partnership for Breast Care, manages the rehabilitative phase of breast cancer surgery for Hartford Hospital's Helen and Harry Gray Cancer Center. ERN's physical and occupational therapists with specialized training in breast surgery rehabilitation work with patients and their health care team to determine the appropriate rehabilitation goals. Early detection and treatment of lymphedema (swelling) is also addressed.
The program is conducted in phases - post-surgery, lymphedema management, and exercise and fitness - and patients may enter the program at any point during their care with a physician's prescription (there is also a pre-surgical phase where baseline information and measurements are taken).
