From Our Sponsors
 Cancer Treatment Centers of America® was proud to sponsor the Pennsylvania Governor’s Conference for Women and the ReWork Career Fair.
When battling cancer, patients have an arsenal of weapons available to help them fight the fight of their lives. Often patients receive excellent medical treatment but are left alone to identify complementary support therapies that will strengthen them physically and emotionally during their cancer journeys.

Things are different at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA), a network of cancer hospitals that provide a patient-centered, multi-disciplinary path to cancer care. CTCA integrates leading-edge medical treatments in radiation, chemotherapy and surgery with evidence-based support therapies such as nutrition, naturopathic medicine, mind-body medicine, physical therapy, spiritual therapy and more – all under one roof. They are committed to seeking innovative options that will give patients hope and offer them the best chance to beat their cancer.
But CTCA also understands that fighting cancer isn’t about just treating the disease—it’s about caring for the whole person—mind, body, and spirit— and all of their loved ones and family members, too. This model puts patients at the very center of care and uses the highest quality and service standards. It’s what CTCA calls The Mother StandardSM, treating all patients with the same compassion, respect and concern that they would want their mothers and other loved ones to receive.
CTCA representatives are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Please call 800-333-CTCA (2822). Patients and caregivers can also chat live on the Web with representatives by logging onto www.cancercenter.com.

Attendee Feedback
“I left inspired, hopeful and happy. My own cup was filled.”
“Bang for the buck, very good conference. I will recommend that our organization send more participants in future years.”
“I felt rejuvenated and alive again after attending the conference. Instead of powerless, I felt powerful.”
“One of my key takeaways is even without a formal mentoring program at work, I will begin to take some of our younger women under my wings to support and encourage them!”
“So much more than I expected. Truly taking away a lot of great things to apply to both work and life.”
