The Wellness Community held a very special
Cancer Survivorship Conference on Saturday, May 17th, 2008

Our featured speaker, Julia H. Rowland, Ph.D., Director of the Office of Cancer Survivorship, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, spoke on Cancer Survivorship: Envisioning the Future.

Her research has focused on both pediatric and adult cancer survivorship. She has published extensively on women’s reactions to breast cancer, as well as on the roles of coping, social support, and developmental stage in a patient’s adaptation to cancer. She co-edited the groundbreaking text, Handbook of Psychooncology: Psychological Care of the Patient with Cancer (1989), and is the author of more than 75 scientific articles, reviews, and book chapters.

Dr. Rowland has graciously granted permission for The Wellness Community to provide a copy of her presentation Cancer Survivorship: Envisioning the Future. We ask that anyone who may be considering using information provided in Dr. Rowland's slides to cite the talk and source of the material, including information from others' works.
