Financial Impacts of Cancer

Talking about the physical symptoms of cancer is one thing. When someone is diagnosed with cancer and their life is on the line, nobody wants to talk about how much money they need to cover the costs of treatment. The impact of these costs hits adolescents and young adults particularly hard.

Dr, Lauren Ghazal, is a family nurse practitioner, nurse scientist, and Associate Professor at the University of Rochester School of Nursing. 

She was just named a 2023 Wunderkind by STAT News for her innovative research on the financial impacts of cancer on adolescents and young adults.
