What is LIVESTRONG?
In 2007, LIVESTRONG® partnered with the YMCA to create LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA, a 12-week physical activity program designed to get cancer survivors back on their feet.
Researchers from Yale University and Dana Farber Cancer Institute conducted a research study on the impact of the program on participants’ cancer-related outcomes. They found that participants experienced significant increases in physical activity, overall quality of life and fitness performance as well as decreases in cancer-related fatigue.
With LIVESTRONG®, survivors participate in free or low-cost customized exercise regimens catered to their individual needs from certified fitness instructors. The instructors are trained in cancer survivorship, post-rehabilitation exercise and supportive cancer care. Survivors receive a membership at the YMCA for the duration of the program. The program is offered for free or low-cost at the discretion of the YMCA.

Process of Getting Livestrong Participants Access to the Y during their program
Kelly SH is currently the person who works with Laura Peterson and the Livestrong coaches to set up Y membership access during their program. She has access to Welld which is the program the Livestrong uses.
Once a Livestrong cohort has been formed at a branch, and the program is either about to start, or just started, the Livestrong coach sends an encrypted email to Kelly SH letting her know the participants are in Welld.
- KellySH in the YSC will process all memberships. Kelly has access to see the LIVESTRONG®cohorts in Welld and can see who is enrolled in the program.
- Coaches should add a Touchpoint and assign it to Kelly SH in the ‘Completed By’ field. Add the following information to the touchpoint note:
