“Childhood Cancer Survivorship: Embracing the Future” |
Children’s Cancer Network’s full day patient and family education conference, “Embracing the Future,” on September 22, 2012 was an amazing experience for 166 participants as they increased their knowledge, built resources, and connected with other families and health care professionals throughout the day. The triple-track format allowed parents, young adults, and survivors/siblings to customize their sessions with nationally recognized speakers and local experts in large and small groups, panels and hands-on learning. Many thanks to all who participated! |

Introducing our new initiative:
“It’s All About You!”
|
|
|
In January 2012, Children’s Cancer Network introduced a new non-medical, health and wellness program for children, teens, siblings and families affected by childhood cancer, “It’s All About You!” Recognizing that wellness and feeling good involve positively affecting the mind, body and spirit, this new monthly initiative offers hands-on activities designed to increase knowledge and skill, build self esteem, develop relationships with others familiar with the cancer journey, and have fun in a relaxed and encouraging environment.

Cardon Children’s Medical Center Library Cart |
A bright red library cart filled with 115 assorted books was recently donated to Cardon Children’s Medical Center. While being maintained in the main hospital library, the cart will regularly be wheeled up to the pediatric oncology unit to be used by staff, parents and, of course, the children. From storybooks to reference books on a variety of topics concerning childhood cancer issues, this mobile library has something of interest for everyone and will continue to grow.
