Matthew is passionate about putting the patient at the center of every conversation. Why? Because he is one. Diagnosed as a college senior with brain cancer, he wasn't sure back then he'd make it to his next birthday. That was 27 years ago.
With a 20+ year career in entertainment, advertising, broadcast media and more, he is considered one of the healthcare sector's most respected, influential, and visionary voices.
Join us at Resurgence Brewing company for a day of connection and learning, with all young adults and their loved ones impacted by cancer!
