With advances in treatment and screening for earlier detection, oncologists have improved cancer survival rates dramatically. That is excellent news, but the surging number of survivors means it is increasingly important for providers to focus more diligently on what patients need to thrive after treatment.
Northwestern Mutual, through its Foundation, announced a class of scholars from its annual Childhood Cancer Scholarship Program for families affected by childhood cancer. The program provides scholarships to students affected by a diagnosis—either as survivors themselves or as siblings—enabling recipients to chase their dreams and transform their experience into purpose.
