Breast Cancer Options’ Annual Complementary Medicine Conference
08:46AM / Thursday, April 09, 2009
NEW PALTZ, NY – Just about everything women want to know about breast cancer treatment, diagnosis and risk reduction but sometimes are afraid to ask will be on an intensive conference agenda Sunday, April 19, when Breast Cancer Options holds its 8th Annual Complementary Medicine Conference, ‘A Holistic Approach to Breast Health’ on the SUNY New Paltz campus in New Paltz, NY 2009 from 8 AM to 5:15 PM.
This one-day educational conference will focus on treating the whole person, from mainstream treatment options to complementary approaches aimed at healing mind, body and spirit. “Women facing the challenge of breast cancer seek information from a variety of sources. Our organization is dedicated to providing answers based on solid evidence and research,” remarks Hope Nemiroff, BCO executive director and coordinator of the annual event.
Among a wide selection of workshop topics are food as medicine, herbal & nutritional supplements, exercise, environmental links to breast cancer, and more. Speakers include expert physicians, experienced doctors in a variety of subspecialties as well as a host of professionals in ancillary fields. Attendees have a choice of morning and afternoon workshops with a nutritious lunch included in the fee of $35; $25 for students and seniors. There is an additional charge of $30 for nurses and radiology technologists seeking Continuing Education credit. Limited scholarships are available for admission.
The event is co-sponsored by the SUNY New Paltz Department of Nursing, SUNY New Paltz Women's Studies, and the SUNY New Paltz Department of Communication and Media.
