PITTSFIELD - The Women's Imaging Center at Berkshire Medical Center is presenting an eight-week wellness program for those who have undergone breast cancer treatment, featuring exercise, nutrition information and stress reduction techniques.
The program is being offered twice, from September 9th through October 28th and repeated from January 6th to February 24th. Each program will be held on Tuesdays during those time periods from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. in the Private Dining Rooms, ground floor, Berkshire Medical Center, adjacent to the BMC Café.
Facilitators for the program are Deborah MacDonald, MS, a certified Kripalu yoga instructor who works in the BMC Rehabilitation Department; Marsha Schulte, Registered Dietitian at BMC; Dianne Pennetti, RN from the Behavioral Health Department at the hospital; and Susan Sacchetti, RN, BSN, from the Women's Imaging Center at BMC.
The program will stress weight stabilization, reduction of discomfort, healthy eating habits, stimulating the immune system, handling stress and increasing energy, while making new friends and having fun. Each program will feature six weeks of exercise, one week of nutrition information and one week of stress-reduction education.
The cost for the eight-week program is $30, with financial assistance available. Class size is limited and pre-registration is required. To reserve a space for either the fall or winter session, call Kathy Hart, RN, or Susan Sacchetti, RN, at the Women's Imaging Center at BMC, 413-395-7965.
This program is funded in part by a grant from the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
