Midwest Conference on Work & Cancer

Cancer and Careers’ 11th annual Midwest Conference on Work & Cancer was held online on Friday, March 22nd, 2024 and it was a great day of learning!

This free, daylong event was open to patients, survivors, caregivers, healthcare professionals, advocates, employers, HR professionals and more to explore the complexities of balancing treatment and recovery with employment.

We know that not everyone has access to reliable technology in their home, which is why for this event we offer our Technology Assistance Program (TAP). This application-based program for cancer patients and survivors awards (1) laptop (such as a Chromebook or similar device) to a limited number of recipients. Applications are now closed.
