(2/3) We know that cancer affects everyone, but it doesn’t affect everyone equally. Cancer disparities for Indigenous & Native people largely reflect long-standing systemic racism that has resulted in limited access to quality care, including cancer screenings. #NAHM


ACSCANTennessee Reposted

(3/3) Everyone deserves a fair & just opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, & survive cancer. Through our advocacy, we’re working to eliminate disparities & amplify the voices of our Indigenous & Native volunteers. Thank you for all that you do in the fight against cancer. #NAHM


“This research further highlights the drastic reality people, especially cancer patients and survivors, are increasingly facing when it comes to the high cost of health care. This reality is unacceptable,”  Lisa Lacasse, President @ACSCAN tinyurl.com/h97s8tu8

Today, the @AmericanCancer Society released Breast Cancer Facts & Figures 2024, a report on breast cancer occurrence and trends in the US. The new report finds breast cancer mortality rates overall have dropped by 44% since 1989, but that not all women have benefited from this…

Tennessee ranks 4th in rural hospitals dropping cancer care. “From 2014 to 2022, about half of the rural hospitals that once offered chemotherapy services cut the program.” @WPLN wpln.org/post/tennessee…


Lights of Hope! Our event honoring our loved ones whose lives have been touched by cancer, including our State Lead Ambassador, Brittney Block, a young adult cancer survivor. #LightsofHope #CancerLobbyDay
