To allow co-workers to have the opportunity to see these products, ask questions and provide feedback, a workshop has been scheduled for Thursday, May 6. Both vendors will be in Cancer Conference Rooms 3 and 4 from 7 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

Please encourage your co-workers to attend and ensure their voice is heard!
