Cancer Rights Conference Boston

May 1st, 2012 | Posted by mllblog in Cancer Centers/Cancer Nonprofits | Cancer Patients | Events - (0 Comments)

MyLifeLine.org is pleased to be a Conference Partner of the Cancer Rights Conference Series. Visit http://cancerrightsconference.org/boston/ to find information on their Boston conference.

We invite you to join us for these one-day conferences where participants will receive comprehensive information about the most common cancer-related legal issues. These free conferences will be  attended by patients, survivors, caregivers, healthcare providers, advocates, and business and community leaders.
The Cancer Legal Resource Center, a joint program of the Disability Rights Legal Center and Loyola Law School Los Angeles, is a national, nonprofit organization that provides free information and resources on cancer-related legal issues to people coping with cancer. A cancer diagnosis may carry with it a variety of potential legal issues, relating to insurance, access to care and government benefits, consumer rights, estate planning, and employment. While we recognize that it should not take legal resources to access healthcare, understand insurance options, or preserve one’s job, it frequently does. When information is easily accessible and understandable, we believe the quality of cancer survivorship improves.

The CLRC provides a comprehensive array of free services in English and Spanish to individuals coping with cancer-related legal issues. The CLRC hosts a toll-free, national Telephone Assistance Line (866-THE-CLRC), educational seminars, information on cancer-related public policy issues, and Cancer Rights Conferences on cancer-related legal issues. For more information about the services provided by the CLRC, please visit their website at www.CancerLegalResourceCenter.org.
