EVENT PROGRAMAbstract and Purpose For every survivor, cancer will be a very different and personal experience. Cancer survivors are some of the most vulnerable patients in the health care system and their care and the cancer journey do not end once active treatment ends. U.S. Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz is holding a Cancer Survivorship Summit that addresses life after diagnosis and completion of active treatment. The Summit will highlight gaps in survivorship care, discuss policy proposals, and provide national and Florida community-based resources and support services. There are more than 18 million cancer survivors in the United States, and 26 million are expected by 2040. This summit is a collaborative opportunity to shine a light on all those impacted by cancer throughout this journey and focus on working toward comprehensive access to survivorship care. The Cancer Survivorship Summit will provide education and awareness about survivorship; highlight the survivorship journey for survivors, their family members and caregivers, and providers; ensure survivors are not lost along their journey and gain an in-depth understanding of what they will face and how to navigate their diagnosis; offer support through hope and community resources; and bring together like-minded individuals and organizations with the same goals and mission to forge connections and generate collaborative opportunities. Program Overview The Summit will feature a keynote speaker, panel discussions, brief presentations, and a resource fair. The event
also will host mobile vans available to provide services. Panels: The Summit will feature five panel discussions. Each panel will be 45 min long and have a moderator and three to four panelists.

Each panelist will have a 2-min opening statement. Presentations: The Summit will feature several presentations, each focused on one specific topic. Each session will be a total of 15 minutes, with 10 minutes for a presentation and 5 minutes for audience questions.
