Be Strong Therapy Services is the proud 2020 recipient of the Florida Physical Therapy Association's Catherine E. Patla Community Awareness Grant. This esteemed grant is administered as a commitment to assisting Florida physical therapists in their relations with the public and patients through community awareness of the physical therapy profession. Our submission titled “ Community-Based Education: Physical and Occupational Therapy’s Role in the Cancer Continuum" consisted of a proposal for quarterly lunch and learns surrounding cancer rehab and a workshop course on cancer and intimacy.
While COVID-19 has changed how we are able to fulfill this grant, The Be Strong Team worked diligently to make our 1st workshop a success! On January 29th, our 1st Lunch N' Learn had both in-person, socially distanced participants and Zoom attendants.
Participants learned what cancer rehab is and why any person going through cancer could benefit. We had a great discussion on what people with cancer go through during the course of treatment and why it can be hard to implement exercise into a routine.
We raffled off a chemo care gift basket, donated by our friends at Need a Gift, which included a 60 minute oncology massage by Chelsea French, LMT, CLT!
If you were unable to attend or would like to catch the presentation, you can access the live recording here.
