Join us for an educational workshop led by Sana Khateeb from Trial Library Inc., offering a clear and accessible introduction to clinical trials. This session will explore what clinical trials are, how they work, and the potential benefits and considerations of participating in research studies. Participants will learn about the enrollment process, eligibility, common misconceptions, and how clinical trials can provide access to emerging treatments while contributing to advancements in cancer care. This workshop is designed to help patients, survivors, and caregivers feel informed and empowered when considering clinical trial options.

Join us for an informative educational workshop led by Dr. Leif Rogers of CORR Heal Pasadena, exploring innovative wellness therapies designed to support healing, recovery, and overall health.

Dr. Rogers will discuss the science behind these therapies, potential benefits, and considerations for individuals both during recovery and for those simply looking to optimize their health and longevity. This workshop is open to anyone interested in learning more about emerging tools that support resilience, healing, and proactive self-care — regardless of current medical condition.

Whether you attended previously or are joining for the first time, this supportive class offers valuable tools to help you care for your body with confidence and awareness.
