Virtual – Finding Strength in Movement: Role of Exercise in Cancer Prevention, Treatment, and Survivorship

Monday, September 29 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm CDT

Research shows that regular exercise and movement can be a meaningful way to support physical and emotional well-being when navigating a cancer diagnosis.

Join Sara Reynolds and Maggie Keller, Integrative Oncology Nurse Practitioners at Endeavor Health, to learn about the role of exercise in cancer care. In this lecture, they will review physical activity recommendations tailored for individuals affected by cancer, discuss the benefits of exercise, and present research on how regular movement can lower the risk of developing several types of cancer. The session will also explore how exercise can support patients during treatment by helping to manage side effects and improve quality of life.

This educational lecture will be a kick-off to Wellness in Action, an initiative promoting movement-based activities to support wellbeing for individuals impacted by cancer. Open to those newly diagnosed, in and post treatment, as well as their loved ones.

Presented by: Sara Reynolds, APRN, AOCNP; Margaret Keller, APRN, AOCNP
