Who is the Developer of Foundation 96?
Karen Anderson BAppSci AEP MESSA
Accredited Exercise Physiologist ESSA
Cancer Exercise Specialist ACSM
As an exercise physiologist, I specialized in supporting people living with cancer. For the past 15 years, I have been working as an accredited exercise physiologist helping cancer survivors manage their physical side-effects from treatment.
I developed programs and worked with oncologists and other healthcare providers in an integrated care approach to develop exercise programs and provide health coaching for people living with cancer. I have worked with the Leukemia Foundation (Australia) and as the Chronic Disease Wellness Director at the innovative Carilion Clinic (USA).
Many reported that they wished they could have located me at the time that they were diagnosed.
I then established clinics to provide this service and soon learned that traveling was difficult during and after cancer treatment. Through my many years of experience, especially working in the USA, I identified the need to create a virtual cancer health & wellness consulting service and resource networking portal.
In 2014, I designed an online service to inform the cancer community of known treatment side-effects and connect them to qualified health professionals and service providers. I identified common treatment side-effects, studied the different health professionals working in the oncology field, located published research articles to support their treatment methods, and created personalized cancer care plans. Locating and connecting qualified health professionals and trusted service providers created a powerful hub of knowledge that I believe will help to improve a cancer survivor’s quality of life.
My task now is to continue to build the global directory, develop education and training webinars, and, most importantly, support the cancer community.
The aim of Foundation 96 is to offer an integrated model of care that supports people who have had a cancer diagnosis and connect them with a team of supportive health & wellness professionals and service providers that work across multiple disciplines to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Why 96?
The famous Hippocrates, the “Father of Medicine” used the term carcinoma to describe tumors. In Greek, carcinoma refers to a crab, and was probably applied to the disease because the spreading cancer called to mind the shape of a crab. Later, the Roman physician Celsus translated the Greek term into the Latin – cancer, symbolized like this
If you turn the crab symbol around, you get 96
“Turning cancer around”,
that’s what we are all about…”
