Health Coaching Program
We are excited to announce a
new health coaching program coming soon to the Zakim Center. The journey
to better wellness can be challenging in the midst of cancer treatment and
beyond. Emerging research is showing that health coaching may
have significant positive effects on helping individuals with chronic disease
improve their quality of life, mood, and physical activity levels. Cancer patients in particular can gain
valuable benefits from regular physical activity and exercise, including
reducing fatigue, improving mood, reducing anxiety, and helping to maintain a
healthy weight.
Our health coaches
will work with patients on an individual basis, and over a 12-week period, to empower them to make
positive, sustainable behavioral changes to encourage more active and healthy
lifestyle choices. Patients will have the opportunity to meet 1-on-1 virtually
with one of our health coaches to establish their wellness goals, as well as
participate in a fitness assessment and consultation with our exercise
physiologist at the Zakim Center for individualized exercise programming.
This program will be offered at no cost to Dana-Farber patients. For
more information on program details and upcoming availability, please call
617-632-3322.
