The George Washington University (GW) Cancer Center Invites you to join us for an upcoming Ask the Expert session titled Addressing Spiritual Needs Across the Cancer Care Continuum.

Physicians, nurses and other health care providers can find it challenging to know how to best address their patients’ spirituality, grief and quality of life concerns. Join us as we learn more from a panel about addressing spiritual needs across the cancer care continuum from a panel of experts.
