Memorial Cancer Recovery Scholarship Program
One of the most important ways cancer patients can facilitate their recovery is to participate in a wellness program.
The Cancer Recovery Scholarship Program, a nonprofit program sponsored by Memorial Healthcare System, is a unique program that provides vital rehabilitation services to help cancer patients improve their overall quality of life. This program is available through Memorial Fitness & Rehabilitation Centers, which provide appropriate exercise plans, nutrition counseling, relaxation techniques and social support to assist cancer patients in achieving and maintaining their wellness goals.
