The Functional Wellness Initiative treats both adult and pediatric patients. We are dedicated to serving individuals with a wide array of brain tumor diagnoses, encompassing both benign and malignant growths that may affect individuals' motor skills, language, cognitive functions and psychological wellbeing.

The Functional Wellness Initiative takes a collaborative team approach, in which patients receive a comprehensive care plan integrating the latest in surgical and non-surgical brain tumor treatments and rehabilitative therapies—from day one. A visit to our clinic will include brain tumor experts from neuro-oncology, physical medicine, clinical neuropsychology, speech pathology, and neurosurgery and provide one-on-one counseling to screen and determine which services will help you achieve the best possible outcomes. An individualized, comprehensive care plan is then created based on you and your family's unique needs, values and preferences.

Having a diverse team of care providers present on your initial visit allows you to share your unique concerns and needs with all care providers at one time. This helps us understand you and how your life story gives importance to various treatment and therapy options. This process allows you to accomplish more at each visit, reducing the number of visits needed—saving you and your family important time and travel—all while enhancing your care experience.

Some of the treatments we provide include:

• Surgery
• Chemotherapy
• Radiation therapy
• Anti-Angiogenic Options
• Clinical Trials

To request an appointment or refer a patient please contact our Brain Tumor Coordinator, Wendy Schrader, RN at [email protected] or call 734-763-7716.

Our brain tumor research involves laboratory studies of the nature of tumor cells and their response to treatment. Research of this type includes our Brain Metastases Clinic, where a multidisciplinary care team is dedicated to studying tumors that have spread to other areas.
