Wade Swenson, Founder of Rural Cancer Institute and Medical Director, Medical Oncologist, and Hematologist at Lakewood Health System, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“The 2nd annual Rural Oncology Conference wrapped up in Minneapolis, and we are still buzzing from the incredible conversations, insights, and connections made.
This year’s program highlighted the critical role that non-profit organizations play in bridging the gap in rural cancer care. We were honored to hear inspiring presentations from four outstanding leaders from organizations making a real difference:
Elizabeth Ruen, from The Helmsley Charitable Trust
Teri Cannon, from A Breath of Hope Lung Cancer Foundation
Chris Evans, from the Colon Cancer Coalition
Jenna Gerdes from Angel Flight Central
These organizations are driving innovation, filling critical gaps, and ensuring that geography doesn’t determine a patient’s outcome.
We’re already looking ahead – the 2027 Rural Oncology Conference will be held in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. We hope to see you there.
