Take advantage of strong evidence supporting early physical activity and targeted exercise after a cancer diagnosis. Our personalized care program is tailored to your stage of care and individual goals.

TELUS Health Care Centres are proud to offer The Exercise Oncology Program to our members and community. Current knowledge in the field of exercise oncology offers the greatest potential as an adjunct therapy to reverse treatment-related side-effects and optimize the quality and lifespan in people with cancer.
