Hope for the future
HealthEast Cancer Care's 9th Annual Many Faces of Hope Cancer Survivorship Conference is designed to offer knowledge, fellowship and hope to cancer survivors and caregivers.
This year's conference theme is Hope for the Future. And there is much for which to be hopeful in the field of cancer care. Each year, we are discovering new ways to diagnose cancer, new genetic links and new innovative treatments. These medical advances are supplemented with complementary therapies to enhance quality of life.
Please join us for a day of survivorship on:
Saturday, April 24, 2010
8:30 am to 3 pm
Holiday Inn East, St. Paul, MN
Cost: $25
Health care professionals can earn 3.5 continuing education credits for attending.

 Scott Burton—Cancer Survivor, Humorist… and Juggler!
Scott has the unique ability to craft a comedy routine laced with the joy and passion of his own personal experience with cancer. Scott says, “I feel that each moment of laughing is a moment when you are—if only for a second—in love with life.” Not only is he a cancer survivor, but he is also an award-winning comic, champion juggler, and author. His upbeat motivational performance is a wonderful way to finish the day.
 Special Guest Host—Kevyn Burger
