Community Wellness HUB hosting Cancer & The African American Community: Confronting Disparities & Finding Solutions

April 12, 2021

  • Thursday, April 15th
  • 5 - 6:00 p.m.
  • Via Zoom

The path to cancer care is rarely straight-forward. But for Black men and women in particular, it is cluttered with obstacles arising from policies, procedures, and practices that contribute to inequalities in care – or that completely block access to critical services. Black Americans constitute nearly 42% of the population of Philadelphia, and a large proportion of this population experiences inequalities in health care.

Health disparities cannot be eliminated overnight, but through consistent collaborations with our community and clinical partners, we can advance towards better health for all Black Americans.

Join us as we explore and discuss the state of cancer among the Black community, with special guests:

  • Annette B. Gadegbeku, MD, associate professor and assistant dean of Community Health at Drexel University College of Medicine
  • Katie Livengood, MPH, assistant director, Drexel Urban Health Collaborative
  • Joe E. Nock, PhD, DMin, pastor, Second Antioch Baptist Church
