Empowered by Knowledge Louise Labuschagne completed a free cancer course. "I was asked to provide feedback on the AICF course, a valuable resource for nurses seeking to enhance their understanding of cancer and the challenges faced by our patients. The most significant benefit I gained from this course was personal growth. I learned to change my approach, improve my communication, and prioritize patient needs. Patients and their families trust us with their lives, especially when facing a life-altering cancer diagnosis. This course helped me develop the patience and skills needed to support them effectively. It covers essential topics, going beyond theory to delve into the emotional and psychological aspects of patient care. This includes palliative support, quick decision-making, and our role in supporting not only the patient but also their family and friends. Furthermore, it equipped me with the confidence to lead training for my colleagues, which was an enriching experience. The AICF course provided me with valuable knowledge and personal growth. I'm eager to share what I've learned, and I'm grateful to our Nursing Manager, Sharon Erasmus, the ICCF trainer, Vivian, and CANCERCARE for making this opportunity possible"- Oncology Nursing Sister Supervisor Louise Labuschagne.

"We are excited about this opportunity and excited for the development for our patients going forward," shares Mark Nix, President and CEO of Infirmary Health. Last week, Infirmary Health and UAB Health System announced that Infirmary Health’s cancer program, Infirmary Cancer Care, is now an affiliate of the UAB O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center, a leading academic research institution in the country. As an affiliated institution, patients of Infirmary Cancer Care will now receive an even higher quality of cancer care from Alabama’s only National Cancer Institute-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center - one of only 56 such centers in the entire country, located in 36 states and the District of Columbia that deliver cutting-edge cancer treatments to patients. The affiliation will enhance Infirmary Health’s existing cancer screening, prevention and education programs, which will ultimately increase early detection of cancer along the Gulf Coast. Now, residents along the Gulf Coast will have access to the highest quality cancer care and cancer research available in the nation, and a greater chance at a longer and improved quality of life.
