With Kim Miller, PhD, MPH

In this webinar, we'll explore the multifaceted concept of "social health" and its impact on individuals following a cancer diagnosis. Moving beyond the well-known epidemic of loneliness in American society, we'll delve into and define the various aspects of social well-being. Our discussion will highlight how these social dimensions can influence physical and emotional outcomes for cancer survivors, offering insights into potential interventions and support strategies.
