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.
All Seminars are presented with Closed Captioning (as of 5/25/22).
We are fortunate to have so many local experts to present current information about breast cancer, gynecologic cancer, and survivorship. Thank you to each presenter this year. Below is a list of the Evening Seminar topics and presenters.
