Our Founder was on the Unveiling Journeys #Podcast by Tiffany Alexander. Episode 101 was "Closing the Gap in Cancer Care: Equity, STEM & Data That Saves Lives". They discussed: ✅ Academia and Career navigation ✅ Health disparities ✅ The work at @scheq.org www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fp8...

Who counts as a “professional” now? Recent US loan rule changes keep a tiny list of fields (medicine, law, etc.) as “professional” and push out nursing, SLP, social work, education, public health + more. That shrinks equity-focused career pipelines. #healthequity #studentloans #STEMM

Thanks Jasmine Smith at BlackDoctor for the write up of our Patient Experience in Lung Cancer Panel at the 3rd SCHEQ Lung Cancer Interventions Summit. One memorable quote was "They all had lives before lung cancer. Now their lives are different". blackdoctor.org/5-lessons-fr...

Part of our why is helping diverse and underserved patients navigate medical care, #advocate for care they are entitled to, and how to address #medicalracism.

What is one reason we were founded? To help underserved populations navigate care and battle #medicalracism.

It is #lungcancerawarenessmonth.
