Cancer Patient Education Network
The Cancer Patient Education Network (CPEN) is a group of Healthcare Professionals who share experiences and best practices in all aspects of cancer patient education. The overall mission of CPEN is to promote and provide models of excellence in patient, family, and community education across the continuum of care.
CPEN works in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute's Office of Communication & Education.
"Learning about innovative programs and services has helped me improve the quality of patient education services at my center. CPEN has also helped me contribute to the development of patient education services at other centers."
**The online CPEN Store is temporarily closed while publications are being updated.**
Virtual Tour of CPEN's Learning Resource Centers
The CPEN Learning Resource Center Committee developed a Virtual Tour of CPEN member LRCs. Carrie Arnold collated content and photos from 12 member institutions. This virtual tour features LRCs of all sizes and enables members to share valuable ideas regarding space design, staffing, and collection management.
