Evening Educational Seminars

Studies have shown that patient education and communication positively affect patient health outcomes, including emotional and physical health. The Breast Cancer Coalition works with area medical professionals and other experts to offer a wide variety of Evening Educational Seminars throughout the year.

Evening Educational Seminars bring information and education to our survivors and community friends.

Evening Seminars are held virtually (Zoom link and information is below).

COVID-19 & Cancer Survivorship: What Do Survivors Need To Know

Is there an increased risk for complications for cancer survivors who acquire COVID-19?
If so, what are these? And how are complications mitigated?
What about the vaccine? What do patients need to know?
Are cancer survivors prioritized as a subgroup with “pre-existing conditions”?
What IS known about cancer, COVID-19, and the vaccine?
