• All webinars will be made available as they are produced. Those that are complete will have links to recordings on the module tab. Upcoming webinars will have registration links provided as they are scheduled.

We are excited to announce our Project ECHO Nevada series which is being held in partnership with the University of Nevada, Reno, School of Medicine! This ECHO clinic will provide an introduction to issues in cancer survivorship and opportunities to increase knowledge in effectively caring for survivors. This series features multiple guest speakers who will share information on fitness, nutrition, tobacco cessation, POLST, and many other areas of cancer treatment and survivorship.

Cancer survivors are individuals living with and beyond cancer. They become survivors from the time of diagnosis through the remainder of their lives. Today, more than two-thirds of those diagnosed with cancer are told they can expect to live at least five years after diagnosis. According to the American Cancer Society, in Nevada there are currently an estimated 120,200 cancer survivors and in 2019, 14,810 people will be diagnosed with cancer. Our health-care system does not yet consistently support the delivery of coordinated care between primary care and oncology specialists. This series hopes to address survivors' ongoing needs with improved outcomes and quality of life for cancer survivors'.
