b'Partnership with the StateMOQC has been fortunate this year (October 2019-September 2020) to have a funding opportunity with the State of Michigan, Department of Health and Human Services, Cancer Division. Our first opportunity is an extension of a small grant to deliver a program called Cancer:ThrivingandSurviving(CTS). The goal of the program is to build the participants confidence in their ability to self-manage their health, and maintain active and fulfilling lives post cancer therapy. This is a small group workshop delivered by two trained leaders, one or both of whom are cancer survivors. The curriculum is delivered one session per week for six weeks, 2hours per session. This is targeted for patients who have completed therapy, and/or no longer require frequent oncology oversight. The information was developed by Stanford physicians andMOQC has developed several partnerships in the State toother professionals, and was initially tested in the arthritic andoffer this program, and will be reaching out to practices to diabetic populations.
