Healthcare Rights are Human Rights: A Discussion on Cancer Health Equity

September 24th, 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Under pandemic related restrictions, many people have gone a year or more without their annual cancer screening checks- but for communities in underserved and underrepresented areas, a year without preventative cancer screening measures is not uncommon.  With doctors now preparing for more late stage cancer diagnosis due to lack of detection, how do we protect and advocate for communities of color that already face the highest cancer death rate and lowest survival rates.

Join the Zhu Family Center for a virtual discussion on how political, social, health and educational systems are intertwined in ways that drive the many disparities we see in cancer and other health domains.
