| New Cancer Program - "Surviving Cancer as a Young Adult" |
Dedicated to the 70,000 young adults diagnosed with cancer every year, Next Step® Institute is proud to announce a new Wellness Week offering: "Surviving Cancer as a Young Adult." In recent years, survivorship statistics have shown improvement for every cancer population except young adults, which has remained stagnant since 1975. It is our aim to help young adults move beyond this disease and embrace their formative years and early adulthood with passion, vitality, and wellness. Program schedules are available on our website at http://www.nextstepinstitute.org/our_programs/schedule_programs.cfm |
