We're Here to Keep you Healthier: Cancer Care, a 4-Part Webinar Series
One in three people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. You can help reduce that risk by staying healthy and keeping up with preventive screenings. For those who have been recently diagnosed with cancer or know someone who has, what comes after that diagnosis can be overwhelming. Whether it’s for cancer prevention or cancer treatment, it is important to be proactive when it comes to finding the best sources of information and medical care for yourself and your family.
In this four-part cancer care series, specialists from Hawaii Pacific Health and our partners will help guide you and your family in the right direction by providing details on health screenings and background on groundbreaking research and treatments available. We will also provide an overview of our comprehensive approach to cancer care that supports patients from diagnosis through treatment.
Key topics of discussion will include:
- Prevention

- Cutting-edge treatments
- Introduction to your health care support team
