Zakim Center and Alka Ohri Foundation Help Patients Rebuild After Cancer
Patients receive personalized support at Zakim Center that helps them rebuild strength and regain a sense of normal life during and after cancer treatment. Support from the Alka Ohri Foundation allows this care to be offered at no cost.
The Zakim Center provides structured support that helps people rebuild their strength and regain a sense of normal life during and after cancer treatment. Through its Healthy Living Program, patients receive personalized guidance in exercise, wellness, and health coaching, no matter their prior experience.
Many patients enter the program feeling drained, both physically and mentally. Some struggle to restart even simple routines on their own. With one-on-one support, they begin to rebuild stamina, reduce fatigue, and improve emotional well-being. Participants report better quality of life and a stronger ability to take part in daily activities again.
Support from the Alka Ohri Foundation plays a key role in making this care accessible. The program comes at no cost to patients, which removes a major burden during an already difficult time. This allows individuals and families to focus on recovery without added financial stress.
Research continues to show that exercise and wellness support improve outcomes during cancer treatment. Patients who stay active often experience fewer side effects, less anxiety, and better overall resilience. For many, the impact goes beyond physical recovery. As one patient shared, medical care may save a life, but this kind of support helps give that life back.
