The STELLAR Program is a healthy lifestyle telehealth program designed for individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer, completed active treatment, and have 2 or 3 of the following health behaviors: 1) have a BMI of 25 or greater, 2) perform less than 90 minutes a week of moderate or vigorous physical activity, 3) currently smoke.

Our central mission is to increase the accessibility of equitable health support and resources for cancer survivors within Northwestern Medicine’s network. Spanning over the course of 12 months, trial participants are randomly assigned to one of two distinct study arms. One arm involves telehealth sessions with a health promotionist, fostering a close and supportive partnership between participants and health coaches across a sequence of 16 remote sessions. The second arm offers a self-guided avenue, empowering participants with personalized tools for self-paced progress.
