Symposium relaunch connects people to medical, scientific experts (Article)

March 4 / 2015

Erin McCracken, Ottawa Community News: Connecting people is at the heart of a public symposium hosted by the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, which is no stranger to fostering connections between cancer patients, their families and caregivers to experts, resources and information.

The foundation’s next Cancer Connections presentation takes place Thursday, March 5, from 6 to 8:30 p.m., at the Ottawa Conference and Event Centre, located at 200 Coventry Rd. It will be a relaunch of the organization’s special presentation series, which has been held annually.

“It’s probably appropriately called Cancer Connections because our objective is to bring people together with different perspectives and knowledge about cancer, cancer care, and to engage in a dialogue that everybody walks out, maybe inspired to some kind of action that leads to change for others or just more knowledgeable about what opportunities there are in the future,” said Linda Eagen, president and chief executive officer of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, located at 1500 Alta Vista Dr. in the Riverview Park community.
