Hospital Partners
Memorial Sloan Kettering
AKTIV Against Cancer and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center have a longstanding partnership focused on advancing exercise oncology and the role of physical activity in cancer prevention, treatment, and recovery. AKTIV Against Cancer has committed more than $3.3 million toward cutting-edge research at MSK, supporting scientific efforts to better understand how exercise can improve outcomes and quality of life for people affected by cancer. Together, the organizations are helping advance the integration of exercise as an essential component of cancer care.
Summit Health Cares
AKTIV Against Cancer and Summit Health Cares have partnered to bring the AKTIVcenter model to the United States, making exercise an integral part of cancer treatment and survivorship. Together, the organizations established the first U.S. AKTIVcenter at Summit Health's Berkeley Heights, New Jersey location, powered by Summit Health Cares. The center provides free, professionally guided, and personalized exercise programming for patients undergoing cancer treatment and those in early survivorship. Through this partnership, AKTIV's proven exercise oncology methodology is being integrated into patient care, expanding access to movement, strength, and supportive programming throughout the cancer journey.
NYU Langone Health
AKTIV Against Cancer and NYU Langone Health have partnered through CancerFIT Powered by AKTIV Against Cancer, bringing accessible, supervised exercise programming to patients at NYU Langone's Perlmutter Cancer Center. Offered through the Center's Survivorship Program, CancerFIT provides free exercise classes for patients before, during, and after cancer treatment. The program incorporates AKTIV's exercise oncology methodology, with physical therapy students and medical professionals helping participants build strength, maintain physical activity, and improve overall well-being throughout their cancer journey. Through this collaboration, AKTIV and NYU Langone are working to further integrate movement into cancer care and expand access to the benefits of exercise throughout treatment and survivorship.
