The Lineberger Cancer Center at UNC now has an outreach survivorship program called Carolina Well. Their services are mainly around psychological and/or peer support, nutrition, and general lifestyle counseling. They mention Get REAL & HEEL, but then also have their own nurse-led exercise program called Sole Sisters. From their site:
"Sole Sisters is a free, 14-week program designed to help sedentary women initiate and
maintain a regular exercise program. This program was founded by Judith Swasey, RN, MSN,
ANP-C, Clinical Instructor and UNC Breast Center nurse practitioner. The program is
sponsored by UNC Lineberger to provide education, motivation and support to enable women
to begin a moderate to vigorous exercise program. The program also works to modify common
obstacles for women beginning an exercise program, promote maintenance of a life-long
exercise program and raise awareness for breast cancer prevention, screening and
research. Participants must register for the orientation. Registration for orientation is
limited to the first 100 women. To register, call (919) 966-5905."
Carolina Well also has community partners at ECU, in Greensboro, in New Hanover, and in Dunn. These places also provide additional services like HIV testing, pre-natal services, x-rays, and lab services.
