What makes the NNECOS Annual Meeting different?

At NNECOS, we believe that cancer care is a team sport, and our Annual Meeting reflects that. Members value the sense of community that comes from gathering with the entire Northern New England cancer care team: physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, and allied health professionals, all learning and connecting together across disciplines.
