WeThrive Program

Cancer impacts each patient differently, and those impacts are likely to evolve over time. When first diagnosed, patients may need help reducing stress, while during treatment your focus may shift toward rebuilding strength, managing side effects and improving sleep. When treatment ends, you may need assistance to return to activities you enjoy or develop nutritional and exercise plans. WeThrive brings together personalized care, healthy living guidance and supportive resources to help you feel more in control of your health and well-being.

At Winship Cancer Institute, we believe survivorship begins at diagnosis and continues through treatment and beyond. We created the WeThrive program to care for your physical health, emotional well-being and quality of life throughout your life.

Recognizing that every person’s experience with cancer is different, the WeThrive program begins with an assessment of your health, lifestyle, concerns and goals. Your responses help your care team understand your needs, what matters to you, and develop a personalized wellness care plan.

Complete a Personal Assessment: Through a short questionnaire in MyChart, you will answer questions about your health, lifestyle and goals. The assessment helps identify priorities and concerns that may affect your daily life, including physical activity, nutrition, sleep, stress, emotional health or financial challenges.

Receive a Personalized Wellness Care Plan: Your care team will use your responses to develop a plan based on your needs and goals. Your plan may include healthy living guidance, referrals to subspecialized care providers, recommendations and connections to supportive services and resources.

Connect With a Nurse Navigator: Your nurse navigator serves as your primary point of contact. They can help you understand your assessment results and wellness care plan, connect with recommended services and work through barriers to getting support.

Adjust Your Plan as Your Needs Change: Your priorities may change over time. Your care team will work with you to address new concerns and adjust recommendations as your needs evolve. Depending on your care needs, support may include in-person visits, telehealth appointments or virtual programs.

Your personalized wellness care plan may include healthy living guidance, services available through WeThrive and connections to other Winship services or community resources. Your care team will help you understand which options fit your individual needs and goals.
