Quoting International Psycho-Oncology Society‘s post:
“Are you planning an event for World Psycho-Oncology Day (WPOD) happening April 9?
Want to be part of the international celebration?
Find out more on how YOU can be involved.
This special day honors the extraordinary legacy of the late Dr. Jimmie Holland, whose pioneering work has transformed the way we understand and address the psychosocial dimensions of cancer care.
World Psycho-Oncology Day serves as a global platform to raise awareness of the importance of addressing the psychological and emotional needs of people affected by cancer and integrating it into the mainstream of cancer care, in order to provide wholistic care to cancer patients.
We invite each of you to participate in this landmark event by spreading awareness, organizing activities, and contributing to the success of the World Psycho-Oncology Day. Together, we can ensure that psychosocial care remains a cornerstone of cancer care globally.”
