ExerciseWinona State University, Gundersen Lutheran Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, and Winona Health have partnered to offer “Winona Survivors Unite in Exercise,” a free customized exercise program for cancer survivors.

This 12-week program is designed to help cancer patients maintain or improve strength, endurance, flexibility and wellness following treatment. Eligible participants include those who have just completed treatment as well as those who have been survivors for years.

Participants must receive approval from the program director and their physician before beginning the program.

Participants will meet from 6:45 to 7:45 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays at the WSU Integrated Wellness Complex, room 136 and will work with WSU undergraduate students in the Movement Science program.

The program will begin Sept. 20 and enrollment is currently open.
