The Support, Treat and Rehabilitate (STAR) Program provides patients with coordinated rehabilitation by a team of certified cancer rehabilitation professionals. Each team member provides expertise, guidance, training and support. Our STAR Program is dedicated to “whole person healing” for cancer survivors. This “gold standard” program truly elevates cancer care and helps improve quality of life. This program is available in Ventura County through Radiation Oncology Centers.
As a STAR Program patient, you will receive coordinated and complete rehabilitation treatment to help improve the issues that affect your daily life.

Dr. O’Connor adds, "The response has been tremendous, and the number of patients enrolled increases each month."
Most insurance carriers cover some or all of the treatment provided by certified medical professionals. Check with your carrier about deductibles, co-pays, and limits.
