The northwest cancer patient summits are free cancer patient education events that aim to help improve the quality of life of cancer patients and their loved ones by educating them about various aspects of managing health after a cancer diagnosis and empowering them to make better health decisions for themselves.
These events take place every 3-4 months in Whatcom and Skagit counties, northwest Washington. Speakers include physicians and other healthcare providers who take care of cancer patients. Other panelists and speakers such as financial counselors, naturopaths, patient advocates etc. are also invited to speak depending on the topic.
We are seeking volunteers to help us with these cancer education events. Volunteers will help with participants registration, set up, and audiovisual support, photography, video broadcasts etc.
