Cancer Patient Education Network (CPEN)

The Cancer Patient Education Network (CPEN) is a group of Health care 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 Education and Special Initiatives. For more information please visit the CPEN web site: http://www.cancerpatienteducation.org/

In May 2001, CPEN presented a testimony on the Delivery of Reliable and Useful Information on CAM to the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
