Cambridge Rotary Bulletin 12516th August 2018 (Aug 16, 2018)

SPEAKER

We had the privilege of hearing from the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Cancer Society CEO, Shelley Campbell. Shelley spoke about the work the Society does along with some quick facts on cancer and their organisation and a little about her own career.

Did you know that the services they provide to cancer patients and their families are free?
Or that they don’t rely on Government contracts to manage their $4.5 million yearly budget?
The Cancer Society offers a wide range of services from information & education to therapeutic massage to outreach nursing and the Cancer Society Lions Lodge – these are just a few of the services available
The Society also supports research projects and clinicians working on research
Alongside their paid staff, up to 750 volunteers support the Society
A pilot programme, Living For The Future, has been running for kids in the 6 – 12yrs age group to help them cope when one of their parents has cancer and is due to be rolled out on a bigger scale soon
And keep an eye out for the Bowel Cancer screening programme coming to our region late 2019 / early 2020
