It features guest speakers on numerous important topics for survivors, including physical therapy, emotional health, behavioral health, sexual health, and nutrition.

This program expands the survivorship offerings at the Cancer Center. It will be a research study also. We will be asking participants to complete a voluntary survey at the start and completion of the program. The results will be analyzed and shared to assist others who want to start similar programs and to improve survivorship programming here as well.

We know that you are busy and have other commitments that will potentially prevent you from attending all sessions. Don’t worry if you cannot attend them all. Presentations and resources are shared below in the resources section.

Our team will be with you every step of the way, offering support and encouragement as you work towards your wellness goals. Please reach out anytime with additional questions you may have.
