Since 1997, the Bangor Region YMCA has assisted the Maine cancer community in reclaiming their lives from a cancer diagnosis through many programs of our Y, which have evolved through the years.
Our team of caring professionals will help you focus on three major areas to improve your health:
LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA is an evidence-based program that helps cancer patients and survivors, 18 years and older, reclaim their health following a cancer diagnosis.
-
- Meets two times per week over a 12-week period for 75-90 minutes
- Aims to improve endurance, strength, mobility, balance, flexibility, and movement confidence, among participants of all fitness levels
- FREE with a Y membership
- Facilitated by LIVESTRONG at the YMCA Certified Instructors
Emotional, Social & Mental Wellness:
-
- Enjoy the strong, supportive environment, nurtured within the program, to build relationships with other cancer survivors, to promote exercise adherence, to gain confidence, and to enhance overall quality of life.
- Gain supportive connections through Camp Hope, an annual one-week program at our Y’s Camp Jordan for children living with cancer and their families.
Together, We Can Help You Thrive!
