• Equity in Care

  • Cancer affects people of all races, but Black people have the highest death rate and lowest survival rate of any racial group for most cancers, according to the American Cancer Society. Health disparities due to racism, homophobia, classism, ableism, ageism or other factors can affect both a person’s ability to access care and the quality of the care they receive. Take our survey to let Cancer Health know about your experience with equity in health care.
