Achieving Health Equity in the Prevention, Detection, Treatment, and Survivorship of Breast Cancer

Join us for this impactful education session as we raise awareness of inequalities in access to care for breast cancer screening and treatment, as well as innovative approaches to overcome disparities. Equity in the prevention, detection, treatment, and survivorship of those affected by cancer is critical for the promotion of health for all. In this session you will hear from industry experts and survivors of breast cancer.

October is breast cancer awareness month. To raise awareness of inequalities in access to care for breast cancer screening and treatment, as well as innovative approaches to overcome disparities, NAHSE Heartland chapter and ACHE MN are bringing this event to you virtually on October 11th from 11:30 – 1:00 CT. The session will be moderated by Pleasant Radford Jr, UCare Health Equity Officer and you will hear from breast oncologist Dr. Tufia Haddad and industry experts Dr. Mary Charlton and Emma Herbach with the University of Iowa, along with Cindy Kaigama, Director of Community Health at Children’s Minnesota, and Outreach Coordinator for the Iowa Cancer Consortium Georgia Hodge – both breast cancer survivors. This education event is approved for 1.5 ACHE Qualified Education credits.

Key takeaways will include:

• Educate attendees on the disparities that exist in breast cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and survivorship
• Share strategies being deployed to close disparities in breast cancer outcomes between racial and socio-economic groups
• Engage attendees to critically reflect on strategies to bring to their organization(s) to close disparities in awareness, screening, and treatment of disease
• Enable networking between participants who are joining from two professional societies and many organizations across the Midwest

This will be a session you won’t want to miss; you will leave with tangible takeaways, and you can personally begin taking steps towards making healthcare more inclusive for all.
