KEYNOTES AND WORKSHOPS

Heather Jose has a vast amount of experience being a patient. Since being diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer over seven years ago, Jose has experienced the best of patient care... and the worst. While sharing her inspiring journey of chemotherapy, stem cell transplants, surgery, and radiation Heather will inspire healthcare providers to make a difference to their patients everyday. She will help them to better understand patients and their fears, discuss the barriers between providers and patients and discuss hope and determination through actions and words.

Beyond Treatment will help each participant:

• Understand how interaction between patient and provider affects a patient's outlook overall
• Using four key concepts, learn how to instill hope and determination through actions and words
• Improve patient care overall without added cost
• Ultimately improve customer satisfaction and the bottom line

Through Heather’s first hand experience this one hour presentation will grip emotions and inspire action. Her candid, engaging talk will provide an edge for prescribing more than just conventional treatment and inspire participants to see treatment through their patient’s eyes.

Heather Jose, a long term survivor of Stage IV breast cancer, has gathered her arsenal for not only surviving cancer but thriving. Walking participants through each stage of her extensive treatment, Heather will provide information that will empower them to make a difference every day. Having used nutrition, exercise, visualization and prayer to enhance chemotherapy, a double stem cell transplant, surgery and radiation, Heather planned each part of her treatment to be as effective as possible.

Participants will learn how to:
• Create a plan of attack to optimize treatment and maintain after treatment
• Incorporate lifestyle changes to kill cancer each day
• Put together an effective team for treatment and support
• Set achievable goals to track progress

This fun, informative and interactive session can be provided in a day long workshop, a half day workshop, or a 60-90 minute presentation. It will provide participants with tools that they can be use immediately to kill cancer. Heather’s inspiring journey and engaging manner will encourage participants to use each day to their advantage.
