SUMMARY:Katie Miller Young Adult Cancer Conference

She approached life with determination and love. Her compassion\, drive\, and natural charm in turn inspired family members\, friends\, educators\, and mentors.Born in New York City and baptized in the Greek Orthodox faith\, Katie lived with her family first in Manhattan and then in Palm Beach\, Florida\, where she completed elementary and middle school education. She graduated from high school at Choate Rosemary Hall\, Wallingford\, Connecticut. She gravitated toward math\, science and French studies. She excelled academically and earned Dean's List honors. Outside the classroom\, Katie formed enduring friendships through her passion for water sports. She also explored the fine arts through painting and drawing and enjoyed impressionist art especially.At the University of Virginia\, Katherine found herself drawn to the intricacies of ancient Latin and Greek\, which led her to intensive Summer language studies in classics at the University of California-Berkeley and study abroad at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. In Florida\, Katie served several internships with local physicians and came to value the holistic approach to treating patients. Katie succumbed to colon cancer in 2005 at age 26.The Katie Miller Young Adult Cancer ConferenceLearn the importance of early detection of cancer in young adults\, along with its treatments. Too often\, symptoms or warning signs are ignored or dismissed due to the age of the patient.  It is seen as something that occurs more predominately in the older population.  With more research\, discussion and public awareness\, maybe then key symptoms that might have otherwise been dismissed be detected early on.Target audienceDes Moines University students\, staff\, faculty and alumni\, Des Moines area primary care physician(s)\, physician assistants\, nurses\, and all other interested healthcare professionals.Agenda5:30 p.m.Registration6 p.m.Dinner and special presentation by the DMU choir Fields of Gold by Sting and May It Be by Enya6:30 p.m.Angela Sandre\, D.O.
