Have you just completed active cancer treatment?

I am thrilled to announce the launch of our spring Cancer Transitions Program© funded with the grant we won from LIVESTRONG (Lance Armstrong Foundation). We are one of only three programs awarded funding in Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska and Hawaii!

See attached flier for details and check out the blog entry I wrote about the program when I was in Austin for training last month.

This is a free six-week program (May 4, 11, 18, 25 and June 1 & 8) with a one month booster session July 6.

We will meet from 6-8:30 p.m. on the Providence St. Peter Hospital campus. Dinner will be served.

The program will feature support groups, education and individualized exercise, and address nutrition, medical management and quality of life issues. Participants will receive practical tools and resources to create a personal action plan for survivorship.

Additionally, thanks to a partnership with South Sound YMCA, facilitators trained to work with cancer patients will direct the exercise segment.

Please forward this information to anyone you know who has completed active cancer treatment and is looking for tools and resources to successfully transition to the next phase of survivorship.
