Show Notes

Over the last couple of decades there have been major advancements in healthcare but have those advancements benefited our most vulnerable communities? Listen to this discussion between Patient Advocate Foundation's Gwen Darien and our three community partners Freddie White-Johnson founder of the Fannie Lou Hamer Cancer Foundation; Robert A.Winn, MD, director of VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Reginald Tucker-Seeley, ScD, principal/owner of Health Equity Strategies and Solutions as they discuss the barriers and solutions to access to care in the regions they serve.

This season is brought to you as a collaboration between Patient Advocate Foundation and Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center at Virginia Commonwealth University, a project made possible in part by support from the Danaher Foundation.
