National Hispanic Health Foundation Webinar Tuesday 6/27 4pm PDT
2023-06-27 16:00 - 17:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Online
The Latino Cancer Institute believes we cannot properly advise our communities if we don’t have the right data to share with them. TLCI continues to call, not only for racial/ethnic breakdowns in all clinical trials endeavors, but it also insists we need disaggregation of subpopulation data to know, who in our Latino diaspora, is not fairly represented. Less than 10% of Latinos volunteer in National Cancer Institute funded clinical trials that help find the right treatment for the right patient or group of patients. Join our colleague, Dr. Elena Rios, of the National Hispanic Health Foundation and her guests on Tuesday, June 27th to learn more.

True North Treks - 2023 Green River Utah Trip for Young Adult Latine Cancer Survivors
2023-09-24 08:00 - 2023-09-30 17:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Green River Utah
When?…Sept 24-30, 2023
Where?…Green River, Utah
Who?…Latine Young Adult Survivors and their supporters
The Power of Finding and Being Found
Transformative experiences in nature empowered by mindful awareness practices and peers who “get it.” Get ready to explore the beauty of the wilderness, take a closer look at the person you have become since your cancer diagnosis, and meet other young adult cancer survivors who know what it’s like to hear the words, “you have cancer”. At True North Treks (TNT) we bring young adults and caregivers affected by cancer together in beautiful outdoor settings to get away from some of the noise of life back home and know the beauty, stillness, quiet, and healing of the natural world. Following the guiding metaphor of the North Star, TNT empowers young adults and caregivers affected by cancer to “find direction through connection”, through connecting with nature after something as unnatural as cancer treatment, connecting with peers who have walked a similar path and get it, and connecting with oneself through mindful meditation and yoga.
