Rachael Schmidt, DNP, will discuss cancer survivorship at the next Olson Center Brown Bag, on Feb. 16 from noon-1 p.m.

Cancer survivorship is more than surviving cancer; cancer and its treatment can result in long-lasting or late-onset effects. In her presentation titled “What is Cancer Survivorship?,” Dr. Schmidt will discuss how survivorship is focused on addressing the various problems cancer survivors may face after therapy ends, as well as ways to lower risk for recurrence and other cancers in the future.
