The Program
Positively Pink is a free program for people dealing with breast cancer. This program is open to those who are currently undergoing or post treatment for breast cancer.
The program’s goal is to improve their overall quality of life by reducing fatigue and improving their immune system. A physician’s approval is required for participation.
The Exercise
Positively Pink creates a positive, energetic, healthy environment in which breast cancer survivors can become stronger and less fatigued. Through a specially tailored exercise curriculum, the participants will share in a program which includes:
• aerobic exercise
• stretching
• strength building
In addition, health education lectures will be given on such topics as:
• exercise
• nutrition
• Yoga
• cancer treatment
• Lymphedema
Classes will last 90 minutes and include 30 minutes of education and 60 minutes of exercise. Classes will
be taught by certified personal trainers and Certified Cancer Exercise Specialists.
JFS Partnership
Often, breast cancer survivors find the physical side effects of chemotherapy, mastectomies, and other highly invasive therapies limiting and even debilitating. JFS’ award-winning team of Registered Nurses, Certified Nursing Assistants, Physical and Occupational Therapists, and other clinicians can address nearly every need. From medical transportation to post-mastectomy wound care, JFS skilled staff can develop individualized care for clients with breast cancer.
