Couldn't agree more with Dr. Mabachi... we need to start truly seeing in order to make progress in #healthequity. Catch the recording of the @komenkswmo health equity town hall: youtube.com/channel/UCkn3VOT…

Incorporating the voices of those who've had a lived cancer experience into the research process is a fantastic way to build #CommunityEngagement and continue to make progress in #HealthEquity.

“... a lot of these same inequities that we’re seeing in terms of COVID are identical to what we’ve been finding in cancer disparities.” - Dr. Sarah Chavez, @SitemanCenter #HealthEquity
@TheSocialNurse @MasonicCancer @KUcancercenter @KUHospital @CDCgov @CDC_Cancer @RadiologyACR
Meeting people where they are and listening... essential elements of #healthequity. We need to listen to our #communitypartners if we want initiatives to be effective and if we want to continue to make progress in this area.

What is CAR T-cell therapy? It involves changing a patient’s immune cells in the lab so they'll attack cancer cells. cancer.gov/publications/dict… #AACR18
We're so fortunate to have great individuals like Broderick as part of the PIVOT (Patient and Investigator Voices Organizing Together) team, bringing a #patient voice to #cancerresearch at @KUcancercenter. xitter.cf/KUcancercenter/status/…
I became a volunteer for @MidwestCancer's PIVOT program b/c of the journey I had w/ my dad, a 9-year prostate cancer survivor. The journey provides me insight into challenges & difficulties faced by patients & their families.
