Navigation Nation Summit – Susan G. Komen®
Stronger Together: The Future of Collaborative Cancer Care
A Free Virtual Event
JOIN US AT THE 2026 NAVIGATION NATION SUMMIT
Join patient navigators, social workers, community health workers, advocates and other health care professionals as we explore the future of collaborative cancer care. No one profession can solve new challenges in cancer care alone. This work requires teamwork across disciplines. Through discussions on innovation, workforce development, precision medicine and interdisciplinary practice, participants will gain practical strategies to strengthen patient support and improve care coordination across settings.
Thursday, Sept. 10, 2026
