The National Paralysis Resource Center is hosting a webinar on preventative cancer screenings for women living with paralysis.
This webinar will include a panel discussion featuring two women living with paralysis who are cancer survivors and an oncologist. The panelists will explore the importance of preventative cancer screenings, the physical and attitudinal barriers to accessing them, strategies for overcoming these barriers, ways to find a provider who offers accessible screenings, and questions to ask when making an appointment. Audience members will gain an understanding of the shared challenges women with paralysis face when accessing preventative cancer screenings and be empowered to obtain the screenings they need to remain healthy.
Live captioning and an ASL interpreter will be available.
