AOSW Annual Conference 2025

The Association of Oncology Social Work (AOSW) is an international nonprofit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to the enhancement of psychosocial services to people with cancer, their families and caregivers. Created in 1984 by social workers interested in oncology and by existing national cancer organizations, we have more than 1,200 current members who embrace the AOSW Mission and Vision Statements.

Our members practice in hospitals, outpatient clinics, home care and hospice agencies, community wellness programs, patient advocacy organizations and other settings. We connect persons diagnosed with cancer, and their families, with essential community, state, national, and international resources as part of the oncology team.
