Nursing Outreach conferences 2010

2010 Clinical Oncology Symposium
- Featured speaker Nick Mezacapa has been ordained to the Episcopal priesthood for the last 25 years. He has served as the rector of Calvary Episcopal Church, right across the street from The Mayo Clinic for the past 20 years. Before coming to Minnesota he served churches in Iowa, Michigan, and New York. A graduate of Heidelberg College in Tiffin, Ohio, he was trained as a teacher and athletics coach and worked in the field for seven years. It was after his teaching career that he attended Colgate/Rochester/Bexley Hall/Crozer Divinity School in Rochester, New York to receive his Master’s in Divinity Degree and subsequent ordination to the priesthood.
  Nick brings his experience as teacher, coach, priest, husband and father to his presentations with passion and authenticity. His experiences as a prostate cancer survivor, radio personality and an active thespian combine to generate a style and urgency that is unique.
  
  He has delivered his presentations to a wide variety of groups across the country, focusing on the subject of “Survivorship and Spirituality”. You will find his perspective refreshing and inspiring!
