In this episode, Emily Gentry, BSN, RN, HON-ONN-CG, OCN, and Chelsea Passwater, DNP, RN, AGCNS-BC, OCN, discuss the benefits and background of the Cancer Advocacy & Patient Education (CAPE) Portal.

The Cancer Advocacy & Patient Education (CAPE) initiative is a web-based library of best-practice resources designed to support cancer patients and caregivers at every stage of their journey.

Through a personalized digital platform, healthcare providers can deliver curated, evidence-based resources to address physical, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being. By educating, engaging, and empowering patients, CAPE aims to reduce distress, enhance patient experiences, and support quality-of-life improvements throughout the cancer journey.
