LIVESTRONG AT THE YMCA: HELPING ADULT CANCER SURVIVORS ON THEIR ROAD TO WELLNESS

It can be difficult for cancer patients to return to what has become a “new” normal after treatment. Finding a non-medical environment to further one’s healing and get back on the road to wellness isn’t always easy. The nationally-recognized LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program provides a 12-week health and wellness program at no cost to participants. This program creates a supportive, caring circle of hope that helps physical and emotional recovery for adult cancer survivors. The YMCA of the North Shore is currently offering this program at 5 of its locations and continues to expand with the incredible generosity of donors, community partners, volunteers and staff.

While incorporating programs such as LIVESTRONG at the YMCA, the YMCA of the North Shore was able to take advantage of the SOCIY website platform. SOCIY’s design enhances YMCA websites, offering improved navigation and mobile-friendly access for both Y members and the community. The YMCA of the North Shore is committed to meeting the ever-growing needs of the communities it serves and increasing awareness about the wide range of programs it offers. SOCIY has played a crucial role in this effort by improving the organization’s website.

LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is a great example of the Y’s ongoing effort to develop new initiatives that are core to its mission of supporting healthy living, youth development and social responsibility.

Through its innovative website design, SOCIY hopes to be a small part of the success of this and similar programs offered at the YMCA of the North Shore. Finding information about LIVESTRONG at the YMCA and other essential Y programming on the YMCA of the North Shore website is easier than ever with the new SOCIY navigation platform.
