The Chinwe Otue-Agugua, MD Educational Conference

Thursday, November 18, 2010

Dr. Otue-Agugua was a founding member of AWCAA who lost her battle to breast cancer in 2008. It is in her spirit of tirelessly working on behalf of all women who have breast cancer that we dedicate our annual educational conference in her name. The conference is held each year in Washington, DC in collaboration with our universtiy partner, George Washington University. This year we look forward to expanding our partnerships with other advocacy groups in the DC Cancer Consortium where we are a grantee.
