Conference for Cancer Care Professionals and Advocates in Oakbrook

With a theme of “Until There is a Cure,” the cancer care advocacy organization Advancing Integrative Practice Together (AIPT) will present a three-day conference from July 29 to August 1, at Hyatt Lodge Oak Brook Chicago, that will focus on educating and building community around cancer care that values every healing modality. The event is open to primary care providers, cancer care practitioners, current and past cancer patients, and all cancer advocates and outreach-minded individuals. Until There is a Cure is not the typical education-by-committee found at other conferences. It will teach cancer care essentials from a wide range of modalities in creative, brain-friendly formats that will challenge and inspire.

In addition to educational sessions, the event will be family-focused, including a kids’ camp and opportunities to build community with other attendees. “Everything about this gathering is designed to challenge, inspire and renew physicians, patients and advocates,” says event founder Wendy Chappell.

AIPT is a catalyst for meetings that bring together discussion of and information on different modalities of healing. A lead-in workshop on July 29, IPT University: Learn about Insulin Potentiation Therapy, with Rebecca Stealey, APRN, will introduce the history and exciting potential of Insulin Potentiation Therapy. A second preconference workshop, Co-Creating a Healthcare Team Approach with Patients with Cancer, with Julie Stevens, will also be presented.
