Our staff always loves this time of year and enjoy giving back to our community. This year may have been a little different than years past but we were able to continue our tradition of giving back through the Salvation Army of Winston-Salem Angel Tree. Here is a picture of our delivery to the Salvation Army.
Held in October 2020, the 7th Annual NCORP (NCI Community Oncology Research Program) Research Base event will be one that attendees will never forget. The event was ENTIRELY VIRTUAL this year as we continue to push through the COVID-19 Pandemic and presented via livestream webinar with small group discussions. We are happy to report that the attendance was the highest it has ever been this year and participants were extremely pleased with the meeting! With the event being held in a virtual format, it provided the opportunity for inclusion of more speakers from around the country to come and share their knowledge with attendees. It also allowed for increased participation by interested attendees thereby increasing exposure and knowledge about the Wake Forest NCORP research base activities.
The Northwest AHEC staff had the honor of hearing from the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC about all the wonderful things they have going on in the community. Myya Carson presented to our staff and Chef Justin Davis did a virtual cooking demo of an apple tart and oatmeal strudel.
