Memorial Hospital to offer educational webinars to oncology professionals

Memorial Health Care System has announced a free educational webinar for oncology nurses and professionals who want to help cancer patients get the most out of their care.

Attendees can register for the July 25 event at StrongAndSmart.org.
 
“Evidence tells us that when patients have someone to help navigate and support them through treatment, their chances of receiving the best possible care dramatically improves,” said Joe Robb, Memorial oncology service line administrator. “By supporting the team of oncology professionals who help patients, we can ultimately better our patients' lives.”
 
Lynne Kinseth, director of Mercy Cancer Resource Center and Services at Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines, Iowa, will share her expertise and approach to the many aspects of being a nurse navigator.
 
Webinar highlights include:
—Exploring holistic approaches to navigation
—Reviewing case studies
—Framing navigation focused on holistic health
—Removing roadblocks to treatment
—Ensuring patients receive the support services they need
 
The Strong and Smart: Living Well with Cancer online webinar series is presented by Memorial Health Care System.

A goal of the series is to make education and information more readily available to a greater number of cancer patients in the community.
