Join us in Toronto, 6-8 October 2021, for the International Cancer Education Conference. This year's conference theme is Integrating Culture, Spirituality, and Social Support into Cancer Education to Improve Health Equity.
The Cancer Patient Education Network and the American Association for Cancer Education stand together with other healthcare organizations to condemn racism and the resulting health disparities. Police violence is a public health issue. It has an immediate impact, but it also has a profound and long-term impact on stress, mental health, and other social determinants of health in too many communities today. This is the result of a decades-long failure to build equity and inclusion and to address the underlying social determinants of health. We condemn anti-Black police violence and all other forms of structural anti-Black racism, and we commit to making significant efforts to support efforts to combat anti-black racism in our work as educators.
