Join us for a free, in-person education program for the blood cancer community. Registration is required.
About the program
Managing blood cancer is about more than just treatment — it also brings financial challenges that can affect patients and their families. This free educational program is designed to provide guidance, support, and resources to help ease the financial stress that often comes with a cancer diagnosis.
Our keynote speaker, Theresa Hastert, PhD, will discuss the impacts of financial toxicity that come with a blood cancer diagnosis. Followed by a panel discussion and concluding with an interactive financial wellness workshop, hosted by Michael Randall of Operation: HOPE.
Together, we’ll cover practical tips for handling bills, navigating insurance, and finding resources to support you and your loved ones. This program is here to help you feel more confident and supported — so you can focus on your health and healing. Complimentary breakfast and lunch provided. We hope you will join us!
