This year has been eventful and filled with exciting collaborative efforts and new resources. Some of our most popular new products this year included
Implementing the Commission on Cancer Standard 3.1: Patient Navigation Process - A Road Map for CCC Professionals and Cancer Program Administrators and its companion ask the expert
session. We were also pleased to collaborate with our colleagues in Pacific Island Jurisdictions (PIJs) on our
2017 PIJ Summit report, covering efforts to reduce the burden of cancer in these communities. Other highlights included the launch of a
new training on policy, systems and environmental change and
presentations at numerous conferences including the Cancer Survivorship Symposium: A Primary Care and Oncology Collaboration, the 2017 CDC National Cancer Conference and the National Cancer Policy Forum, in addition to others. We look forward to the year ahead and are filled with gratitude for your continued readership and support.
Cheers to 2018!
