This series is made possible thanks to a sponsorship from Pfizer, who has joined us in our mission to provide world-class, patient-centered affordable care to patients with cancer and blood disorders in their communities, close to family and friends. This podcast is for cancer patients, practitioners, staff, loved ones and caregivers who help cancer patients and community members interested in learning cancer and health information. On “Conquering Cancer Together” we’ll talk about the latest cancer health information and take a deep dive into everything we need to know from screening and testing. We’ll discuss the latest cancer treatment information, research updates, resources to turn to and happenings in our community. Our own Board-Certified Physicians will join us for each podcast for even more specialized discussions. With each podcast we hope that you feel empowered with knowledge and the know-how to take those first steps to go get screened and be proactive with your health.
