Survivorship care focuses on supporting patients during and after completing cancer treatment. Life after cancer can bring new questions, health needs, and emotional changes. Our survivorship team is here to help you navigate this next chapter with confidence and support.
At Avita, survivorship care is designed to promote long-term wellness and improve quality of life. Each patient receives an individualized survivorship care plan, which may include:
- Ongoing Health Monitoring: Regular follow-up visits and screenings to watch for recurrence or late effects of treatment.
- Symptom and Side Effect Management: Guidance to address fatigue, pain, neuropathy, or other lasting effects.
- Emotional and Social Support: Access to counseling, support groups, and community resources for patients and families.
- Healthy Living Guidance: Education on nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices that promote healing and well-being.
- Coordination of Care: Collaboration with your primary care provider and specialists to ensure seamless long-term care.
Our goal is to help every survivor live well beyond cancer—physically, emotionally, and socially. Whether you’re finishing treatment or years into recovery, our program is designed to help you thrive.
LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA: Building Strength After Cancer
As part of our commitment to long-term wellness, Avita Health System proudly partners with the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program—a free, 12-week fitness and wellness program specifically designed for cancer survivors.
Participants work in small groups with certified YMCA instructors trained in cancer recovery to improve:
- Strength and endurance
- Balance and flexibility
- Emotional well-being and confidence
The program offers a safe, supportive environment where survivors can rebuild physical health, connect with others who share similar experiences, and take the next steps toward lifelong wellness.
LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is available at the Mansfield YMCA location, and our care team can help connect you with a program near you.
We believe healing extends beyond treatment. Our physical and occupational therapy services, combined with community programs like LIVESTRONG at the YMCA, help survivors regain strength, confidence, and a renewed sense of vitality.
