E. Valley Breast Cancer Survivors: Volunteer for a health study!

Save to Favorites

Are you a breast cancer survivor age 45-75?
Do you want to improve your energy levels and well-being?

If you answered yes, you *definitely* want to volunteer for ASU's "Recovery and Rejuvenation" study!

As a volunteer, you will participate in a series of classes focused on gentle movement or educational support designed to improve your well-being. Your participation will help us identify the best way to support breast cancer survivors like you, and demonstrate the benefits of aftercare treatment to healthcare providers.
