For every problem there is an answer - and at For Grace's quickly-approaching 10th Annual Women Pain Conference: "The Pain-Cancer Connection", our "Solution" session speakers will inform and enlighten. Christin Veasley, Co-Founder of the Chronic Pain Research Alliance, will provide the 411 on how to be your own best care advocate. Then, Dr, Keith Block, Director of The Block Center for Integrative Cancer Treatment, will share techniques about how to improve one's "terrain" to ward off malignancies and pain. Rounding out the session, chronic disease and wellness specialist, Dr. Susan Nyanzi, will step by step detail the benefits of healthy lifestyle choices for cancer prevention. Join us on September 24th for this first-of-its-kind day!
Ecstatic to announce that the For Grace-sponsored resolution proclaiming September as Pain Awareness Month and September 24th as Women In Pain Awareness Day (to coincide with our 10th Annual Conference) passed in the California Senate by an unanimous 39-0 vote. Though we had to take last year off due to COVID, this is For Grace's 18th year championing this effort. Thank you, Senator Maria Elena Durazo and staffer Fernando Rameriz, for making SR 53 a reality despite these challenging times. Let's fight on to get chronic pain recognized as a top health priority!
