Marielle Santos McLeod, Director of Strategic Programs and Partnerships at Cancer Hope Network and Patient Research Advocate at the SWOG Cancer Research Network, shared a post on LinkedIn by Cancer Hope Network, adding:
“I’m incredibly honored and excited to share that I’ve been accepted into this year’s American Association for Cancer Research Scientist – Survivor Program.
Even more meaningful is the opportunity to present the impactful work being done at Cancer Hope Network.
On Monday, April 20th, I’ll be sharing our research on the power of one-to-one peer support and how our programming is improving psychosocial outcomes for cancer patients and their caregivers.
This experience is especially important to me as it provides a platform to highlight the compassionate, life-changing work our organization does every single day to improve the cancer experience.
I’m grateful to be part of a community so deeply committed to supporting patients and families when they need it most.
Looking forward to connecting, learning, and contributing to such an inspiring group.”
