SCHUELER SEMINAR

The 2024 Ken Schueler Cancer Seminar will focus on current trends in cancer survivorship and medical issues facing cancer survivors. As patients complete their cancer treatment, they begin a fresh chapter in their lives, filled with renewed possibilities for hope and joy. Yet, these feelings are also accompanied with concerns and apprehension related to the return of their disease. Every individual experiences a different journey, and they navigate their emotions in their own unique way. Adapting and mastering these feelings requires patience and persistence. It is a process that unfolds over time. 

In this seminar, we are honored to have three speakers, Dr. John Woog, MD, BCPA; Rachel Westlake, BCPA; and Julian Halvorsen, MA, LMFT. Dr. Woog and Ms. Westlake are cancer survivors while Ms. Halvorsen has been working in the Cancer field for many years. They will present from personal experiences on the importance of advocacy in working with cancer patients and cancer survivors.

ADVOCACY SPOTLIGHT - AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION

In honor of American Heart Month, NAHAC is proud to highlight the American Heart Association, the AHA, and its advocacy efforts. With a mission to be a relentless force for a world of longer, heathier lives, the AHA is celebrating their 100th Anniversary since its founding in 1924 with a focus on combatting heart disease and stroke. Perhaps, somewhat less known is that in 1981, the AHA established a permanent advocacy office in Washington, DC. For more than 40 years, the advocacy efforts have evolved with volunteers in every state. 

Your work as an Independent Patient / Health Care Advocate has evolved, in part, from the excellent advocacy efforts of organizations such as the AHA who have come before us. More information on AHA Advocacy can be found on the AHA website at: https://www.heart.org/en/get-involved/advocate.
