LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is a small group program designed for cancer survivors. It’s about giving them the opportunity to fight the disease through health and fitness outside of a medical setting. Our hope is that survivors will be a part of safe, supportive, respectful environment for healing. LIVESTONG at the YMCA is about health, not the disease.

To learn more about this exciting program, see the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA Fact Sheet or contact Anthony Hall (contact information below).
