On Saturday, Oncology Hematology Care ( OHC) and Patient Power, an organization devoted to empowering cancer patients through information, will be hosting a free community event for chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients and their caregivers.

The panelists will include community experts from OHC, Dayton Physicians Network, and Columbia University Medical Center in New York. They will discuss the latest testing and treatments and how to talk to providers about accessing the right treatment at the right time. The program will also include a group of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients and care givers who will share their experiences for others to learn.

Audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions to the panelists and meet others living with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

This educational community event is for patients and care givers, and is produced in partnership with OHC and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).

The event is scheduled from 8:45 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. at the Great Wolf Lodge Conference Center, 2501 Great Wolf Dr. in Mason.
