Minority Cancer Awareness
|
This Sunday on
The Group Room we'll support the
efforts of Minority Cancer Awareness Month,
as we focus our
discussion on the cultural, clinical, economic and social
issues that impact minority cancer
patients. Life influences and
belief systems also impact how illness is perceived and
how health care is
accessed. We'll be joined by a diverse panel of
survivors, providers, and advocates. Tune in and add
your voice to the discussion at 1-800- GRP-ROOM and visit our new show website
