We'll be touring the facilities and learning about the services offered. There is also the chance that we may be able to interact with current patients at the clinic and interview them as part of our outreach program, the Portraits Project. If you are interested in attending, please fill out the form at http://illini4000.org/forms/carlevisit by Sunday September 26th, so we can get an accurate estimate of who will be attending. Please note, that cancer patients are immunocompromised (cannot fight off infections), so in the interest of keeping the people we meet as healthy as can be, we ask that you do not attend if you are even the least bit sick.
