Causes: Cancer, Community Health Systems, Health, Patient & Family Support
Mission: To enhance the quality of life and survival for individuals living with cancer
Target demographics: cancer patients and survivors
Programs: FitSteps provides patients with hope, support, and education in an atmosphere of wellness. We help patients focus on life rather than being defined by their diagnosis. We also understand that each patient is unique, therefore the treatment we prescribe is always personalized. The program provides a smooth transition from treatment to recovery and addresses many of the challenges experienced during cancer treatment. Individualized exercise plans improve quality of life by reducing pain and depression, restoring motion, and regaining strength. Patients and their families are better able to cope with the physical and emotional issues of living with and surviving cancer. Our exercise centers are a safe and inspiring environment for patients to exercise and engage with other cancer survivors who share similar diagnoses and health goals. We offer a variety of services to meet the needs of each patient. Services include: • Exercise prescriptions • Fitness assessments • Individual therapy sessions • Group exercise classes • Home-based coaching • Goal setting • Nutritional guidance • Health and wellness education • Caregiver support and training Ensuring the program is available at no charge removes financial barriers as cancer treatment is very costly and encourages long term participation. It also enables patients to adopt a healthy lifestyle and achieve maximum benefits from their exercise. Our evidence-based and patient-focused program gives patients the advantage over cancer.
