Pink Program The Pink Program started nearly four years ago at the JCC. Janice Salerno, Bernikow JCC Group Ex Director, received a special certification in a program designed by Harvard breast cancer surgeon & survivor Dr. Carolyn M. Kaelin and Master Trainers Josie Gardiner and Joy Prouty. It is the only breast cancer recovery program approved by the American Council on Exercise (ACE) and the only one on Staten Island. Since that time, participants attend twice weekly and have found that the benefits are both physical and emotional. Whether they had a lumpectomy or a mastectomy, they have a unique understanding of what they have each experienced. The result is a naturally occurring support group as well as a place to improve and maintain their physical well being. The class is open to all - members and non-members, men and women. It is on-going so enrollment can take place at any time. A trial visit can be arranged. The class meets from 6pm-7pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For information about the fee or any other questions, please call Janice at 718.475.1143. "Even though I was 3 years post surgery, I had muscle pain on that side of the breast. After a few months in the PP, the pain disappeared." - Carole "I came to the Pink Program because I was finding it impossible to get a full range of upward motion with my arms post surgery. I found it frustrating but didn't know what to do about it. Within a few weeks of starting the program, my range increased and after a while I regained my full range of motion.” - Ruth "The Pink Program at the JCC has been a great asset to me in my personal journey to getting healthy and fit. My physician advised that exercise would be the key in beating cancer and thanks to Janice and the ladies in the Pink Program I am exercising two times per week." - Mary “Four years ago when I started training the women from the Pink Program, I saw a bunch of brave women who were survivors, apprehensive about their ability to exercise. One by one I have seen each of them excel in the program – they have gone from women who have survived to women who have thrived. I am so happy to call each and everyone of them my friends as we have taken this journey together.” - Janice Salerno, instructor 8
