  Wisconsin Health News: Newsmaker Event

  Register to receive the livestream link prior to the event.

  When COVID-19 cases started mounting in the spring, Exact Sciences quickly shifted gears. Known for its colon cancer screening test, the Madison-based company played a key role in building out the state’s testing capacity.
  

  During a Wisconsin Health News virtual newsmaker event on Aug. 13, Conroy will talk about the testing partnership, as well as discuss what missed screenings and delayed care could mean for the future of cancer care.
  

  This live, virtual event is free.

  We appreciate your patience as we've worked to reschedule this important event! We are excited to invite you to join us virtually on September 10, 2020.

Representatives from the Virginia Department of Veterans Affairs will present on the logistics and challenges of creating their program. Following their presentation, a panel of experts will discuss the need in Wisconsin for a similar program and how it could be implemented here to address the growing healthcare workforce shortage.
