What is a Connect® Workshop?
CancerCare’s free Connect® Workshops are a way for people to learn about cancer-related issues from the convenience of their home or office. Leading experts in oncology provide the most up-to-date information on the phone.
How do I participate?
You can listen to the workshop on the telephone (at home, office, in the Cancer Care Center) or via live streaming through the internet. Participation is free.
