Champions Can Foundation for Cancer Wellness, Inc.

Champions Can! Foundation for Cancer Wellness, Inc. was founded by Dr. Crystal A. Champion,  a Physical Therapist and Certified Lymphedema Therapist, who specializes in the treatment and rehabilitation of cancer patients who have developed functional impairments as a result of their cancer treatment. She has family and friends that have been affected by cancer and have endured unwanted side-effects, leading to a decline in physical function and poor quality of life. In her experience as a healthcare practitioner, Dr. Champion saw the need to serve cancer patients on a larger scale by taking a more holistic approach to restoring psychological well-being,  physical functioning, and quality of life. These elements in the overall cancer treatment plan are often not addressed. Dr. Champion has gained more awareness surrounding the gaps in cancer education in addition to the limited focus on cancer survivorship once cancer treatment has been completed. The organization strives to be the leader in the promotion of cancer survivorship for all diagnoses.
