In conjunction with the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program and LIVESTRONG Foundation, the conference will be today at the Central Spokane YMCA from 9 a.m – 4 p.m. The conference structure and content are the direct result from surveying area survivors who noted gaps in post-treatment education and support.
