Advancing Health Equity in Breast Cancer: Zero Breast Cancer’s 25th Year Speaker Series
In honor of our 25th anniversary, Zero Breast Cancer is proud to present a series of webinars featuring researchers and community members that we have worked with in our mission to reduce the risk of breast cancer and disease recurrence, and to improve health and wellness for all. Since our early days of trying to figure out what causes breast cancer, ZBC has focused on those of us with higher risk and fewer resources. Please join us to look at what we can do together to reduce the risk of breast cancer through social and environmental justice.
1. Bridging Researchers and Impacted Communities for Health Equity in Breast Cancer
When: January 28th 2021, 12 pm – 1 pm PST, REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
Featuring: Kim Rhoads, MD, MPH, Director of UCSF’s Comprehensive Cancer Center’s Office of Community Engagement and Ysabel Duron, founder of the Latino Cancer Institute and Latinas Contra Cancer
By engaging people from communities impacted by breast cancer, research can be more relevant and have greater influence. Community members, including patients and caregivers, provide unique perspectives on their needs and priorities, and can help to translate and apply research findings.
ZBC has been facilitating community involvement in research throughout its 25 years. Join us to learn how cancer advocates and scientists are partnering to improve equity in prevention, treatment and quality of life, and how you can participate.
