Great River Health hosts cancer survivor program

WEST BURLINGTON — Southeast Iowa Regional Medical Center’s West Burlington campus will host A Time To Heal, Survivorship 101, a nine-week program designed to support cancer survivors as they adjust to life after treatment. The program begins Tuesday, September 17, and will run weekly through Tuesday, November 12.
The program provides cancer survivors with the tools and support needed to embrace their “new normal.” Led by specially trained facilitators, the program offers a safe and welcoming space for participants and their caregivers to share experiences, build community, and gain practical strategies for moving forward.

Each week, participants will explore topics rooted in current research, including nutrition, exercise, intimacy, stress management, and reducing anxiety. In addition to evidence-based guidance, the program emphasizes fellowship and encouragement among survivors.
“This program helps survivors take the next step in their healing journey,” said program coordinator Carey Wellington. “It’s about giving people the confidence, community, and knowledge they need to thrive.”
Registration for Survivorship 101 is free but required. The deadline to reserve a spot is September 10. To register, call 319-768-4248.
