Notes

The FirstHealth Cancer Wellness Program strives to support individuals living with cancer through education and exercise, that teaches participants how to improve their quality of life.

Cancer Wellness Program Goals are to:

  • Ease the transition between treatment and a quality daily life
  • Enhance the lives of participants through exercise, education and group support
  • Educate participants on how to successfully make and continue lifestyle changes that make a positive impact on their well being
  • Equip participants with the tools available from FirstHealth and other community programs that may assist them in remaining well as they continue in their fight against cancer
  • Establish relationships with others that have similar experiences

The 10-week program is conducted at the Center for Health & Fitness - Pinehurst and consists of two 90-minute sessions per week. Each session will include both exercise and education, and will explain the role each plays in improving quality of life.

Financial assistance is available through the Barbara McGinnis Memorial Scholarship Fund for those who wish to participate.
