Conference 2019—Social Networking

August 1, 2019

In June, Tucson was hopping with posts to social media about #AOSW2019! Posts from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter all demonstrated inspiration, learning and camaraderie as well as good old-fashioned fun.

  • Conference day 1 starts with a 7am SIG leader breakfast. #AOSW2019
     
  • Our workshop on Demystifying Manuscript Writing and Reviewing had excellent participants with great ideas and energy. Go #AOSW2019! Thank you, Karen Kayser!
     
  • Attending #AOSW2019? Stop by to see us at tonight's poster session from 7-8:30 p.m. Our poster is called “Young Adult Parents with Breast Cancer” and is number P07. http://lbbc.org/parenting #bcsm
     
  • A collection of resources to help people with cancer and caregivers understand the costs associated with care and manage the financial effects of treatment: http://bit.ly/FinancialConsiderations …#cancer #cancercare #cost #medicalcosts #cost #medicalbills #socialwork #AOSW2019
     
  • So excited to be teaching with this amazing panel of #SocialWorkStars @oncosocialwork #AOSW2019 #elevatorpitch #leadershipandadvocacy
     
  • If you're at #AOSW2019, don't miss our presentation on proactive screening, assessment and treatment of financial toxicity! The session begins at 10:15 in Salon 9. @oncosocialwork
     
  • As the price of new #cancer treatments continues to rise, physicians need to factor patient expense as well as efficacy into treatment plans. Learn how @OSUCCC_James determines which agents will be available to providers for treatment: #AOSW2019 https://www.accc-cancer.org/docs/documents/oncology-issues/articles/mj19/mj19-cost-of-anti-cancer-therapies-demands-new-strategies-for-decision-making-shared-responsibility-communication…
     
  • Attending #AOSW2019? Stop by booth 210 to say hi to @cassidyfish2. (And maybe grab a nail file?!) #socialworkersrock #cancersupport #caregiversupport
     
  • Stop by booth 405 and see our patient navigation binders. #BeInformed #BeEmpowered #patienteducation #cancer #socialworkers #aosw2019
     
  • Congrats to my AOSW BFF, Krista Nelson, on receiving the American Cancer Society Association of Oncology Social Work (AOSW) Leadership in Oncology Social Work Award. You're a rock star in our field, dear one. So lucky to know you. #AOSW2019
     
  • Day one of #AOSW2019 35th annual conference and the Association of Oncology Social Work (AOSW) Board of Directors meeting. Got in a couple of hours of pool time before our executive committee meeting. Looking forward to an amazing week advancing excellence on psychosocial oncology!
     
  • In Tucson all week for a conference and thought these views only existed in movies! These cactuses are my favorite and I’ve been flooding my stories with photos. Tomorrow morning I’ll be going on an early hike even though I’m scared to death of rattle snakes which are a very real thing here. Give me all the valor before that hike!!!! Learning a lot and feeling professionally inspired. #aosw2019 #lifeofasocialworker #oncologysocialwork #tucson #Arizona #professionaldevelopment #selfcare #preventburnout #dryheatisstillhot
     
  • What an amazing week at #AOSW2019! These brilliant and loving people are dedicated to improving the quality of life of ALL those affected by cancer… Association of Oncology Social Work (AOSW)
