Show Notes
Join us as we speak to Dr. Johanna DiMento and Dr. Frank Dalichow, oncologists at the first cancer center on a reservation in the United States. In this episode, the doctors share about the realities of cancer care for Native American communities. They also discuss how they were able to bring cancer care to the Navajo and Hopi tribes, and the importance of inclusivity and culturally appropriate care for this population.
