Dr. Rob Rutledge is a Radiation Oncologist in Halifax, Nova Scotia,
specializing in breast, prostate and pediatric cancers. He is also an
Associate Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at Dalhousie University.
In 1999, Rob co-created the ‘Skills for Healing’ Cancer Weekend Retreats.
These weekend support groups teach a powerful and integrated approach to the
cancer diagnosis and ways to heal at levels of body, mind and spirit.
To date, over 2000 people have attended one of 64 retreats in 30 cities across Canada and abroad.
Rob is the CEO and Chair of the Healing and Cancer Foundation,
a Registered Charity that freely offers educational videos, documentaries,

He is co-author of the book The Healing Circle, which captures the teachings
and inspirational stories from the weekend retreats.
