Honoring and Celebrating Juneteenth
We are excited to begin the 2023 AOSW Annual Conference on Monday, June 19, Juneteenth National Independence Day. AOSW chose to begin our conference on Juneteenth to honor this important holiday and all that it represents. As oncology social workers, we are keenly aware of the challenges faced by all cancer patients, and that many of our patients are also members of marginalized populations. Access to care and services that can impact any cancer patient’s treatment and experience are often compounded by issues of race and inequity. Our conference features the opportunity to participate in a track of presentations that focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion in psychosocial oncology.
The city of New Orleans will host our conference this year. New Orleans’ traditions meld West African, French, Spanish, Indigenous and many other cultures, creating a rich heritage of pride, diversity and incredible resilience. The city’s unique history provides an inspiring backdrop for enhancing attendees’ knowledge of oncology social work and we hope you will join us there.
