Take Action at the Cancer Center
Promoting health equity in cancer care requires teamwork. At the University of Illinois Cancer Center, we work closely with our valuable partners to create equitable access to cancer awareness and care in minority and underrepresented communities.
We are intentional about meeting the unique needs of our partners, communicating openly, and tailoring our engagement according to the respective goals of our partners and the community.
Our partners are the trusted gatekeepers of the community — and they are critical in increasing outreach, engagement, and access for people who may not be linked to care and research.
The information our partners share with us informs our academic faculty to work on more direct solutions and formulate research questions that are responsive to communities.
