Centre leader

Jeremy Young

At GenesisCare, Hollywood we offer access to a high-quality patient experience supported by skilled professionals, modern technology, and evidence-based care with a personalised approach.

GenesisCare, Hollywood offers access to integrated cancer care services including radiation therapy and allied health support.

Patient care is managed by a team of passionate healthcare professionals with experience in oncology including: radiation oncologists, registered nurses, radiation therapists, physicists, allied health professionals, and a dedicated team of support staff.

Considerable research and clinical evidence has established that exercise may be beneficial for people with cancer; however, there is no one-size-fits-all approach.1,2 Every person’s circumstances are unique and these should be take into account. Tailored exercise programs designed by an exercise professional that include both aerobic and resistance training activities have been shown to provide benefits.3 To learn more about incorporating exercise during your cancer journey, please speak with your doctor and treatment team.
