June is National Cancer Survivor Month- there are currently 16.9 million cancer survivors in the United States. Despite the challenges associated with the short-term and long-term effects of treatment, cancer survivors are resilient. The YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh celebrates survivors during National Cancer Survivor Month, and encourages individuals touched by cancer to learn more about how we support recovery through our LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA program.
