The North Dakota Cancer Coalition (NDCC) board of directors invites you to join us at the North Dakota Cancer Coalition and North Dakota Colorectal Cancer Roundtable (NDCCRT) annual meetings, June 24-25, at the North Dakota Heritage Center Museum in Bismark, ND.
Our annual meetings include educational opportunities for physicians, nurses, industry representatives, state and community partners, and cancer survivors from across North Dakota. Our membership includes healthcare professionals across all practice settings. The specific goals of our annual meetings are to facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing and spur engagement among members, and for each person to leave the meetings in action. To help meet these goals, we ask you and your company for support of our efforts.
The NDCC and NDCCRT annual meetings are offering vendor space for the first time this year and will encourage all of our participants to visit the exhibitor booths to learn more about all of our sponsors.
