Physical Activity for Cancer Survivors - 8/10/2021

Advanced Care Planning - 6/17/2021
Every person should be empowered to advocate for their personal healthcare treatment preferences. Further, those preferences should be honored by their healthcare team. How does one think about and communicate preferences regarding what matters most to them to live life well? How does a person choose a person they trust to share their preferences for care if they are unable to advocate for themselves? In this session, Dr. Robinson will share strategies to help participants clarify "What Matters Most," how to share your preferences for care with those most important to you, and how to choose a good patient advocate.
