Why is the CanWell Program only available at the Les Chater YMCA in Hamilton?
The CanWell Program was started as a pilot program with one time funding from HealthForce Ontario (a division of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care). Research on the benefits of exercise and cancer is growing rapidly. However, the best way of providing exercise programs for people with cancer is just being developed. The CanWell pilot program was very successful. The participants made significant improvements in strength, increased energy, better quality of sleep, and improved quality of life. The goal is to expand the CanWell Program to other YMCA locations. We are currently looking for resources to expand the program. If you would like to donate, please click here.
