“... a lot of these same inequities that we’re seeing in terms of COVID are identical to what we’ve been finding in cancer disparities.” - Dr. Sarah Chavez, @SitemanCenter #HealthEquity

What is CAR T-cell therapy? It involves changing a patient’s immune cells in the lab so they'll attack cancer cells. https://t.co/V8BAGQ6pyv

We're so fortunate to have great individuals like Broderick as part of the PIVOT (Patient and Investigator Voices Organizing Together) team, bringing a #patient voice to #cancerresearch at @KUcancercenter.
I became a volunteer for @MidwestCancer's PIVOT program b/c of the journey I had w/ my dad, a 9-year prostate cancer survivor. The journey provides me insight into challenges & difficulties faced by patients & their families. - Broderick Crawford, MCA volunteer #CancerConnectsUs
