California Black Health Network’s Post

April marks #NationalMinorityCancerAwarenessMonth & #NationalMinorityHealthMonth. Let's shed light on the disproportionate impact cancer has on minority communities and how health disparities, influenced by socio-economic factors like obesity, diabetes, and infections such as Covid-19, worsen cancer outcomes, can complicate treatment and increase side effects. We can address these disparities through education, early detection, and culturally competent healthcare services. Empowering patients with relevant information is key to fostering healthier outcomes and eliminating health disparities. #NMHM24 Learn how to be the #SourceforBetterHealth on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) website: https://lnkd.in/eFyydTnd
