Implementation of a Prehabilitation Program for Surgical Patients
Recruiting
Frailty is a state of increased vulnerability to stressors with increased rates of poor outcomes. Surgery is one of these stressors, and previous research has therefore shown increased rates of morbidity and mortality in frail patients undergoing surgery. Prehabilitation programs can help mitigate the negative outcomes associated with frailty. The investigators hope to implement a newly developed prehabilitation pilot program in the Maine Medical Center Surgical Oncology Clinic to initially eval... Read More
