Show Notes
Join us live from Miami, FL, as we talk about healthcare disparities and equity with Dr. Erin Kobetz of Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center and Seth Berkowitz, Director of Patient and Community Outreach at LLS.
In this episode, we discuss how organizations like Sylvester and LLS work together to address healthcare gaps and barriers that patients may face in accessing quality and affordable cancer care.
The diverse population in South Florida has provided opportunities for researchers, cancer advocates and community health workers to implement new, innovative programs with the goal of giving every person the same access to care.
