The Heartland Association of Gynecologic Oncologists (HAGO) was founded in 2020 with a charter membership of 8 physicians. The purpose of the association is to:
1) provide a place for gynecologic oncologists in our area to gather, network and collaborate;
2) provide valuable leadership experience to junior faculty;
3) provide trainees the opportunity to present their research, collaborate and network with other trainees and leaders in our region;
4) stimulate the development and sharing of research and educational resources to further improve the care of women with gynecologic cancer, and
5) provide a forum for education and dissemination of knowledge about gynecologic oncology.

HAGO is an association that specializes in oncology with the main goal of promoting quality science and fellowship among the members. The association membership is open to fellowship-trained gynecologic oncologists who practice within the middle portion of the United States. The membership is comprised of gynecologic oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and pathologists.
