FitSteps For Life

CANCER CARE SERVICES




Fit Steps for Life is a program dedicated to changing the lives of cancer fighters and survivors. Exercise may not be the first thing that cancer patients think of when it comes to treatment, but many oncologists recommend it as a way to cope and even combat cancer.  Since 2001, the FitSteps program has prescribed exercise to over 21,500 patients.  Through science-based exercise guidelines, peer-reviewed and published research, and state of the art customized software, it can play an essential
role in the health and wellness of those we serve.
