West Coast Conference on Work & Cancer
Cancer and Careers will hold it's 10th annual West Coast Conference on Work & Cancer virtually on Saturday, October 19, 2024! This free, daylong event explores the complexities of balancing treatment and recovery with employment and is open to patients, survivors, caregivers, healthcare professionals, employers, advocates, HR professionals and anyone else touched by cancer.
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 open through Monday, September 9th, so apply soon! If you are interested in future opportunities for our Technology Assistance Program, please add your name to our notification list.
CEs/PDCs were available for nurses, social workers and HR professionals who attend the Conference. Any accreditation changes will be updated on the Accreditation Page.
