Integrative Therapies
Hope & Healing Cancer Services is pleased to introduce its patients to a more comprehensive approach to healthcare called integrative medicine. By recognizing the benefits of combining standard medical care with safe and effective complementary therapies, our goal is to treat not just the disease of cancer, but our patients and their whole selves.
Integrative medicine works with patients to address their concerns during cancer treatment, including their physical, emotional, spiritual, and social needs. This approach can help reduce some of the challenges of cancer treatment, like fatigue, pain, and anxiety.
“Very empathetic. Listens to your concerns then explains things very well. Takes as much time as she needs to be sure your questions and concerns are addressed. Comfortable office and infusion center in the same office.”

“Dr. Gundala fosters a collaborative environment with many different healthcare providers and care services to ensure her patients have access to all the amenities of a large healthcare system, but in a private, integrated practice. As a Genetic Counselor, partnering with Hope & Healing Cancer Services provides her patients with point-of-care genetic testing to ensure treatment decisions are guided by the unique genetic makeup of each patient, offering the promise of more effective, targeted therapies in addition to making individuals aware of future cancer risk for themselves and their family.”

The Wellness House Partnership
Cancer impacts the cells of a person’s body, but it also impacts almost every aspect of a person’s life, too. While oncologists and other healthcare workers take care of the medical aspects of cancer, other professionals are important to help cancer patients cope with different aspects of their diagnosis, like relationships, mental health, nutrition, and self-care.
Hope & Healing Cancer Services is honored to continue our partnership with Hinsdale’s Wellness House to help our patients connect with the services and support they need. The Wellness House has provided holistic care for cancer patients and their families since 1990. With our partnership, Wellness House experts provide convenient weekly onsite consultations for Hope & Healing patients to support their wellness and mental health needs in the same place they get medical care.
We encourage all our patients to take advantage of the alliance with Wellness House to best address not only their medical needs, but to receive holistic support for all aspects of their life while living with cancer.
