Thanks to everyone that joined us for lunch yesterday for a conversation on cancer and nutrition!

Thanks to your support, VitalHearts is able to provide 3-week, full-day virtual trainings to address compassion fatigue and heal the healers. Your continued support allows us to continue funding incredible programs, like VitalHearts.

"The training "normalized" my experience. I discovered that caregiver secondary trauma is a universal experience. The difference is in how we're able to accept and process that experience. This training helped me figure that part out."

LEGACY

Empowering the Next Generation

Changing the Future of Cancer Education

As an academic cancer center, reinvigorating cancer education is an essential component of the Livestrong Cancer Institutes’ mission. Since 2018, the Livestrong Cancer Institutes has amplified the Livestrong at School curriculum for Central Texas students on the health sciences track as part of their educational pipeline. The Institutes hopes to provide students of all backgrounds opportunities to learn how they can make an impact on the future of cancer care.

Students explore the biological, social, and emotional aspects of cancer and learn of the many career paths in cancer -- all while getting real-world advice on how to get started.
