Equity and Access to Blood Cancer Care in the Black Community

March 15 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Free

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

Accessibility to care is critical to cancer health equity. Mistrust of the health care system, difficulty understanding medical information, and misinformation about clinical trials are common among people of color. These barriers can make accessing quality blood cancer treatment challenging. This program will help participants gain a better understanding of blood cancer, self-advocacy, diagnosis, and treatment. Attendees will also learn about the importance of clinical trials.

In addition, participants will learn about resources available in their community, support and services provided by LLS, and how to access care. Plan to join us for this event focused on addressing blood cancer care in the Black community. Patients are encouraged to bring their caregivers and family members.

We hope you can join us for this free educational event!
