Pink Power at the PJCC
Welcome to Pink Power at the PJCC, the Peninsula’s exclusive postoperative workout program designed to enhance recovery for breast cancer survivors. Since 2011, we’ve proudly served hundreds of women from across the Bay Area, providing a community of strength, resilience, and empowerment.
About Pink Power at the PJCC
Recognizing the unique challenges faced by breast cancer survivors, our program offers personalized exercise regimens developed by Post-Rehabilitative Breast Cancer Exercise Specialists (BCES). Whether your surgery was recent or several years ago, studies show that exercise decreases the effects of fatigue, improves the quality of life, and decreases the chance of recurrence.
