In the fall of 2024, POGO launched its inaugural nursing newsletter, brought to you by the POGO Nursing Committee. This initiative is a direct reflection of POGO’s ongoing commitment to pediatric oncology nursing in Ontario. This bi-annual newsletter aims to support professional development, foster communication, promote nursing best practices, and so much more to ultimately strengthen our collective efforts in delivering exceptional nursing care to children and their families.
