T R I - C I T I E S
An organized strengthening and conditioning program designed to improve
endurance, function, and quality of life. This no-cost program is a collaborative
effort between the Tri-Cities Cancer Center and the Tri-City Court Club.
The Cancer WellFitTM Program is a 10-week small group program designed for cancer
survivors who have recently become deconditioned or chronically fatigued from
their treatment and/or disease. Our goal is to help patients build muscle mass and
muscle strength, improve range of motion, and to increase endurance and functional
ability. Other goals include reducing the severity of therapy side effects, preventing
unwanted changes in weight, and improving energy levels and self-esteem. A final
goal is to assist program participants in developing their own fitness program so
they can continue a healthy lifestyle as part of the recovery process.
What to Expect
The Cancer WellFitTM Program is nationally recognized for its effective use of resistance
training for cancer patients and cancer survivors. Patients can expect:
·Increased physical fitness levels
·Prevention of muscle loss due to inactivity and chronic disease
·Less dependence on others for daily living
·Improved self-esteem
·Increased social contact and quality of life
