Today marks the start of Black History Month, an annual
celebration of achievements by Black Americans and a time to recognize
their central role in U.S. history. At PanCAN, we are grateful for the
diverse community of advocates, volunteers and donors who make the work we
do possible.
This month, PanCAN is bringing together a panel of community members and
experts who are working to treat and champion pancreatic cancer patients
and families in the Black community and beyond.
Join our host, pancreatic cancer survivor and PanCAN volunteer Teona Ducre,
for an empowering discussion with healthcare professionals, a member of our
Board of Directors and a PanCAN Patient Services representative.
Thursday, February 23 | 11 a.m. PT/2 p.m. ET
Join us for a Black History Month Virtual Event
Throughout the month we’ll also be:
- Talking about racial
inequities and unequal access to healthcare. Learn more about why
addressing these challenges is critically important.
- Shining a light on the
importance of patient self-advocacy when faced with pancreatic cancer
and sharing tips and tools to become a better advocate.
- Sharing information about
how PanCAN Patient Services can help patients with pancreatic cancer
and their loved ones.
We
also invite you to share your own story of hope and inspiration, or that of
someone who inspires you, during Black History Month. Visit Facebook,
Twitter
or Instagram
and use @PanCAN.
