CancerEd APHOES Conference Award

Hello All! In May 2018, the CancerEd team was pleased to attend the APHOES/ACMN Let's Move Mountains conference this year in Denver, Colorado. In attendance were child life specialists, hospital educators, social workers, nurses, and more who all came together to discuss helping children with cancer. We were so grateful to be apart of this conference at our vendor table and also for a poster presentation (specifically about our teacher survey results). 

The CancerEd Team was also given the APHOES Bridge Award, that specifically designates people and teams who are committed to bridging the gap between hospital specialists and the education system for pediatric cancer patients. We were humbled o accept this award, as it validates all the years of hard work creating our lesson plans/resources!

For a summer update: we will continue to develop more materials, specifically drawing from collaborations at the conference. We also hope to expand our age ranges (middle school/high school), and continue our research with focus groups and surveys. 

Thank you all for your support and we look forward to another great year!
