We had the privilege of attending the 17th AACR Conference on the Science of Cancer Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Minorities and the Medically Underserved!
Dr. Lourdes Baezconde-Garbanati moderated a session which included representatives from various racial/ethnic groups, including Al, AA, H/L and LGBTQl+ on Community Engagement: Patient-Driven Solutions to Overcoming Barriers in Health Equity.
At the Office of Community Outreach and Engagement (COE), we are proud to be part of the efforts driving change and advancing health equity for all. Together, we can continue to make a difference in our communities.
Below are pictures from the event. Enjoy!
