Cancer-related fatigue is the most common and burdensome symptom experienced by people living with and beyond cancer. We believe no one should have their recovery defined by exhaustion. Our mission is to transform the lives of cancer patients and survivors by alleviating their fatigue, reigniting their vitality, and restoring their hope for a life well-lived.
We do this differently. As Canada's first physician-led precision medicine clinic dedicated to cancer-related fatigue, we identify and treat the unique underlying causes of each patient's fatigue through compassionate, evidence-based, multidisciplinary care. Our hybrid model of in-person and at-home services keeps that care accessible and flexible, meeting patients where they are in their lives and their recovery.
We are hiring a Registered Kinesiologist or Clinical Exercise Physiologist to join our exercise team and help deliver this care. Help us build a future where cancer-related fatigue is universally recognized, effectively treated, and no longer a barrier to living a full life with and beyond cancer.
