MAHCA SYMPOSIUM

We are excited to promote the inaugural Spring symposium hosted by the Massachusetts Health Care Advocates, MAHCA, NAHAC’s New England regional group. All are invited to attend this in-person event on Wednesday April 10, 2024! 

ADVOCACY SPOTLIGHT: KAREN CURTISS, BCPA

NAHAC would like to highlight Karen Curtiss BCPA, founder of The Care Partner Project, and the launch of her new "Spark Speaker Series." The Care Partner Project, https://thecarepartnerproject.org, is a 501c3 non-profit based in Chicago that offers fully vetted – yet super simple – checklists that demystify healthcare and equip anyone to partner with medical providers for safe and sound care.

SCHUELER SEMINAR NOW AVAILABLE IN LIBRARY OF WEBINARS

The 2024 Ken Schueler Cancer Seminar focuses 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 present from personal experiences on the importance of advocacy in working with cancer patients and cancer survivors. Learn more about the speakers here.
