Let's talk cancer facts. Did you know in the U.S., 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will face cancer? That's a big number, but it's not just statistics. It affects families, friends, and neighbors. Why share this? Because knowledge is power. Regular check-ups make a difference. Encourage your loved ones to stay on top of their health. Cancer is tough, but we're tougher together. Spread the word, inspire action. Let's create a community where support and awareness go hand in hand. 💙 #CancerFacts #StayInformed #CommunitySupport #ByrdCancerFoundation #ByrdCancerEducationAdvocacyFoundation #BCEAF #Cancerinformation #Cancerawareness #Cancersupport #Cancerprevention #Cancerresource #Cancersupport #Philadelphia #Philly

The challenges facing cancer outcomes are deeply intertwined with societal inequities, requiring a multifaceted approach to ensure equitable cancer outcomes. From systemic racism and discrimination to economic barriers and access issues in healthcare, these factors significantly impact individuals' abilities to engage effectively with cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and survival strategies. The path to equitable cancer care demands a concerted, intentional effort toward dismantling these barriers and adopting a framework of diversity, equity, and inclusion. This approach must be patient-centered, listening to and incorporating the experiences and needs of those affected by cancer, including patients, caregivers, and their communities, ensuring that every step towards fighting cancer is taken together, leaving no one behind. Few are better suited to lead this important national initiative. Nadine Barrett, PhD, MA, MS, you can count on St. Elizabeth Healthcare to be right there with you. Tracy N. S.

Why do people procrastinate to pull together their life plan, to be ready for unplanned life transitions? I don't know the answer but it is my mission to improve this situation. On the other hand, it is refreshing to see cancer patient that are going through life-changing events totally engaged in pulling their plans together, seeking to learn how to put a complete plan in place. At every quarterly workshop at the Ottawa Cancer Hub, I am amazed of the open conversations, positive attitude of these people that are going through difficult life events and transitions. Very pleasant and gratifying. Looking forward to the next one. #lifeplanning #estateplanning #advocacyInAging #OttawaCancerHub #OttawaCancerFoundation #lifetransitions #unplannedlifetransitions #cancersurvivor #advancecareplanning #healthcaredirectives
