Brief summary
A pilot to test feasibility of improving patient/caretaker quality of life and resilience.
Detailed description
Our overall goal is to investigate if pre-operative interventions can address patients' and patients' care givers quality of life/resilience deficits and thus improve outcomes. This initial pilot study will test the feasibility of offering patients and their care givers prehabilitation interventions prior to complex gastrointestinal surgery such as pancreatectomy, esophagectomy, proctectomy, or hepatectomy.
