HBA Melbourne is excited to kick off the year with our first in-person event! Join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking experience that shines a light on the voices and journeys of patients who have survived or are currently navigating life-threatening and chronic illnesses. Through their powerful stories, we will explore the intersection of identity, family, career, and resilience, offering insights that transcend clinical care and speak to the human side of health challenges. Keynote Address: From Patient to Partner: Driving Change for a Better Cancer Future Presented by Naveena Nekkalapudi, a breast cancer survivor and passionate patient advocate, who will share her remarkable journey of courage, advocacy, and empowerment. Panel Discussion: Hear from patients living with chronic conditions as they share diverse perspectives on managing health while balancing personal and professional lives. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and be inspired! This event is proudly supported by our generous sponsors: Southern Clinical Development Consulting
