CancerFIT
Cancer and its treatment may limit the physical activity of
patients and survivors. This can result in the loss of strength and overall
fitness. With the right help, patients, those in remission and survivors can
increase their physical activity because it is safe, achievable, and helpful.
CancerFit requires a referral for participation. Simply ask your provider about the program and request a referral.
