Jun 24, 2023 | 10:35 AM

BROOKS, AB – Alberta Health Services is looking for participants to take part in a cancer study in Brooks next week.

AHS’ Cancer Strategic Clinical Network (SCN) seeks people 18 years of age and older who moved to Canada in the last seven years, and who have experienced or have a loved one who has experienced a cancer diagnosis in Alberta.

The aim is to better understand factors that affect the access of newcomers to cancer diagnosis resources. Participation is completely voluntary.

Participants will be asked to attend one of two in-person sessions at the JBS Centre on June 26. Participants can choose the 4 p.m. or 7 p.m. session. Language interpretation services are available and participants will be offered a gift card in the amount of $25/hour of participation.

For more information and to register, visit the SCN website, contact Adebola Odebode at adebola.odebode@albertahealthservices.ca, or call 780-246-6202.
