Our 2023 projects include: Develop a patient assessment and coaching portal accessible to patients, their caregivers, and healthcare providers. Revitalize Cancer Active Self-Assessment video series by creating new videos, processes, and support to provide a free resource for patients to complete their own assessment in a thorough and impactful way. Host 6 education panels that bring team members together in a collaborative virtual space, from different specialties to focus on the needs of the patient. Specialists include, but are not limited to oncologists, physical therapists, nutritionists, dietitians, and mental health professionals. Focus on patient advocacy by getting in the right rooms at the right tables to not only advocate for blood cancer patients, but expand awareness and in turn be able to more extensively support the patients in our community.
