Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC) Announces 39th National Oncology Conference

An in-person conference event, featuring educational and networking opportunities for the multidisciplinary cancer care team on how to implement innovation in care delivery.

West Palm Beach, Fla. — Oncology professionals will convene October 12-14, 2022, in West Palm Beach, Fla., to learn from and network with their colleagues through an engaging and interactive three-day agenda at the ACCC 39^th National Oncology Conference.

ACCC will host two pre-conferences; feature more than 14 sessions, including the 2022 ACCC Innovator Award winners; and hold five workshops—a hands-on, interactive experience to help the multidisciplinary cancer care team improve care, streamline processes, and enact positive workplace changes.

The 2022 ACCC National Oncology Conference will focus on strategies to develop a medical-legal partnership to address social determinants of health; to implement remote patient monitoring to meet patients’ needs in real time; to embed primary care in the cancer service line; and to address the oncology workforce shortage, among many others.
