Wellness for Cancer hosts second roundtabl

Wellness for Cancer hosts second roundtabl

The second Wellness for Cancer Roundtable event took place at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota last month.

 

Created to help the spa industry more forward in treating guests who have – or have had – cancer, the roundtable event was attended by senior spa industry executives and medical representatives.

 

The theme of the day-long event was ‘teachable moments, fostering healthy behavioural lifestyle choices through the cancer continuum’. The goal was to continue bridging medical evidence with cancer-aware guidelines for the spa and wellness industry and attendees identified three topics to move the spa industry towards being more cancer-aware.

 

WFC will conduct a feasibility study to measure skin health during and after cancer treatment, to help skincare and wellness brands see the necessity treatments for those who have had cancer.

 

WFC will also hire a third-party to conduct a risk analysis survey and provide guidelines on how to mitigate risks and dispel perceived liability concerns and will continue to define cancer-aware guidelines.

 

Moderator Dr Brent Bauer, director of integrative medicine at Mayo Clinic, says: “I’d like to thank everyone who attended this roundtable to move the conversation – and the industry – forward when it comes to safely treating our guests who have had cancer as normal wellness-seeking guests. The event achieved what I’d hoped – the continued joint development of cancer-aware guidelines with the medical industry and some much-needed donations to help fund research.”
