It's been a busy year

So much has happened in the past year. In September, we presented a poster at the Georgia VHA Leadership Awards in Atlanta entitled Development of a Survivorship Program Blueprint for Community Cancer Centers. Just a few short weeks later we presented a poster at ACCC's 30th National Oncology Conference in Boston, on October 3. The presentation generated a lot of interest as cancer centers are working to determine the best way to implement survivorship services before the 2015 ACoS deadline. Our survivorship program was profiled in the Nov/Dec 2013 Oncology Issues, ACCC's publication. In March of this year, we were featured in ONS' Survivorship, Quality of Life, & Rehabilitation SIG Newsletter. And finally, next month, we'll have another poster at the 7th Biennial Survivorship Conference, Advancing Survivorship through Multilevel Collaborations, to be held in Atlanta June 18-20, 2014. If you can possibly make it to Atlanta, it will be worth the trip. It's an opportunity to see how other cancer centers are integrating survivorship services into their program and a chance to network with key people in this rapidly growing field. Good luck to you all as you develop your programs. If you need assistance or have questions, please reach out to us and visit www.pearlmansurvivorshipkit.com.
