Yes, Tina, I saw the webinar and agree that the info from the second speaker (Gwinn?) was especially heartening. I wrote down several of the things he said that are relevant to our programming. The exchanges between Dr. Filetti and him were especially great to hear. I actually got your message about it and signed in around 12:30 just when the second speaker began, so I missed the actual ACEs part, but it would have been review (not a bad thing), but I'm glad I heard the last hour.

Carlene,

Did you see the webinar today?

I really liked the end with Dr. Gwinn (I am probably spelling his name wrong). I liked the end because it is great to have this information directed at broadened audiences. I think some other members of the group watched the webinar in a group format also which is awesome.

This is why I like ACEs connection.

When I first went to medical school, I was working on cancer research at the University of Michigan. If you check the cure rates for children's vs adult cancer there are huge differences. This could be that children are younger and easier to cure (which is likely a part of the reason). But another part is that there was CCG (children's cancer group) and POG (pediatric oncology group). These two shared best practices are now POG and CCG are collaborate together and cure rates are even better than when they collaborated individually. At the time I was in medical school this sort of collaboration did not exist in adult cancer treatment except within institutions. I haven't searched to see collaboration has begun to exist now in adult cancer treatment, but the bottom line is that collaboration produces the best results.

I am glad to be a part of the Alpena team,

Tina

I will be following up for more info on the "challenge by choice" programming for children. There was good info in this webinar and it's worth a view when the recording is posted.
