FOCUS: Medical Center, YMCA join in program to benefit cancer survivors
By Johanna Baidya | Gwinnett Medical Center and the YMCA of Metro Atlanta are teaming up to offer a special exercise program for cancer survivors to help maintain and improve their overall state of wellness during and after treatment. Called GMC at the Y, the program also aims to help survivors lower their risk of recurrence, a key concern for those who have had cancer. The program also aims to improve the strength, stamina, and health of those with active cancer.

– The 40th president of the United Sates, Ronald Reagan (1911-2004).
