National Conference on Work & Cancer

Our 10th annual National Conference on Work & Cancer was held virtually on Friday, June 19, 2020. It was a terrific event with a great turnout. This free, daylong event, which explores the complexities of balancing treatment and recovery with employment, is open to patients, survivors, caregivers, healthcare professionals, employers/HR and anyone else touched by cancer. Details regarding the 2020 Conference are below. Please check back for information on our 2021 National Conference later this year.
