SEQUIM — Dr. Thomas Kummet will present a free WOW! Working on Wellness forum on cancer therapies Wednesday, July 13.
“Cancer: Current Therapies & Treatment” will be presented at 2:30 p.m. at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave.
Kummet will talk about changes in cancer treatment throughout the past five years or so, emphasizing the therapies that are showing up on commercials.
It seems he can’t watch any TV sports without seeing a commercial for the drug Opdivo, he said, so a subtitle for this presentation could be “Why are all these cancer drugs being advertised on my TV?”
Kummet graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1978 with MD and Master of Public Health degrees.
He completed his training in cancer treatment at the University of Arizona in 1983.
His 35-year career in cancer care — the past decade on the Olympic Peninsula — will end in August.
WOW! Working on Wellness is a health education program of the Dungeness Valley Health & Wellness Clinic, Sequim’s free clinic.
The clinic at 777 N. Fifth Ave. provides basic urgent care and chronic health care services to uninsured community members.
The Basic Urgent Care Clinic is open to patients Monday and Thursday evenings beginning at 5.
Those interested in supporting the clinic can call 360-582-0218.
