The Importance of Language and Representation in Cancer Care
Nov 03, 2022 7:00 PM (ET)
Navigating a cancer diagnosis is challenging enough but when you add English as a second, or third, language, those challenges exponentially increase. In this session we will discuss the legal, cultural, and communication barriers that can exist when receiving cancer care. We will leave this session empowered to find Spanish resources, advocate for our needs, and build a network of support.
