Venturing Out of Cyberspace: GRACE in the Community

GRACE is very pleased to introduce a Community Outreach program. The goal of this program is to bring patient education events into the community for face-to-face interactive discussions of cancer topics with oncology experts. Not able to make it in person? GRACE will provide edited audio/video content from these programs online via GRACEcasts. For our upcoming community events in Seattle.

The mission of the Global Resource for Advancing
Cancer Education
(GRACE)
is to provide expert-mediated information on current and emerging cancer manage-
ment options in order to empower patients,
caregivers, and
health professionals to
become direct partners
in cancer care.

GRACE Featured in New LIVESTRONG Guidebook

In recognition of our work developing new educational programs for the cancer community, LIVESTRONG/Lance Armstrong Foundation is suggesting GRACE as a valuable resource for cancer education.

GRACE will be included in the new LIVESTRONG Guidebook coming out this summer. The Guidebook provides resources to help those affected by cancer get the information they need for the best care for their situation. The Guidebook may be ordered online in August at the LIVESTRONG store.
