DCPC is excited to welcome Joan Lunden to the stage at the 2017 CDC National Cancer Conference this August. Ms. Lunden is an award-winning journalist, bestselling author, motivational speaker, and women’s health and wellness advocate, as well as the longest-running female host ever on early morning television.

In June of 2014, Ms. Lunden was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer, which required chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. She blogged throughout her cancer treatment and wrote a memoir, which documents her battle and reflects on her life and career. She is also active in the cancer community through social media and advocates for patients on Capitol Hill.
