Culturally Inclusive Communication and Cancer Presented by Roy Fisher, MA, LMFT

“I’m going to focus on understanding the inequities experienced by African Americans as it relates to cancer treatment. My goal is that the attendees will be open to having that kind of conversation about cancer. We can’t separate the person’s racial identity from their cancer diagnosis – yes, cancer doesn’t see race, but race may influence treatment outcomes.”
