I am writing in recommendation of Mary Houge as a certified advanced oncologist. Ms. Houge is an excellent acupuncturist, bodyworker and compassionate practitioner. Her professionalism, knowledge, and ambition will make her a great asset to your team.
Ms. Houge has graduated from both of our training seminars “Basic Oncology Acupuncture” and “Advanced Oncology Acupuncture” at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
Our “Oncology Acupuncture” training provided our participants the knowledge and skill to evaluate and treat cancer patients safely and effectively. The “advanced” program offered the experience of top practitioners from Sloan Kettering in the area of pharmacology, herbal drug interaction, pain management, lymphedema management, cancer treatment, hospital environment, infection control, psychosocial challenges and research.
The Department of Integrative Medicine and its Clinical Services treat more than 16,800 patients annually in both in-patients and out-patients program using various modalities including acupuncture and bodywork. Our patients greatly benefit from receiving acupuncture for nausea, neuropathy, hot flashes, fatigue and pain management.
I know your patients will benefit from these integrative services. Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Yi Hung Chan L Ac DPM, Chief Acupuncturist, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
