Connor presented on "Patient- and Family-Centered Care in the Oncology Setting" on September 13 from 4 to 5 p.m. in the UVM College of Medicine's Sullivan Classroom (Medical Education Center 200). On Wednesday, September 14, beginning with breakfast at 7:30 a.m., Connor will facilitate a panel presentation from 8 to 9 a.m. on the same subject, including patient advocates and providers.
