Karen Tripp MS LMFT will offer strategies for using volunteers to develop successful cancer ministries to impact your church and community through the Cancer Companions Program
For anyone interested in impacting cancer in their church and community (pastors, parish nurses, lay members, Chaplains, Hospice workers, Stephen Ministers, care teams, cancer survivors and caregivers).
