VOICES of Black Women®️ study launched by American Cancer Society. The organization aims to enroll over 100,000 participants to better understand #cancer risk factors and outcomes after diagnosis in Black women in the United States. This study is a crucial step towards achieving #healthequity amongst this population. #healthcare #medicine #business #education

American Cancer Society is doing important research to close the gap between the health outcomes of Black woman and men/White women. From Voices.Cancer.org "For generations, Black women have not been equally included in important health research resulting in a lack of information specific to Black women’s health. Including Black women in research is a crucial step toward improving cancer outcomes and eliminating disparities. By joining together, we can gain valuable insights into the diverse experiences and health challenges faced by Black women and learn how to deliver culturally competent and effective interventions, treatments, and preventive measures. Black women have made significant advancements in the areas of education, economics, business, and politics. NOW is the time to see similar advancements in health. By engaging in the VOICES of Black Women, we can help transform the health of Black women."

It’s #WorldCancerDay ❤️ and 92% of patients agree the support they receive at work positively impacts their recovery.

Since signing the pledge, we’ve launched: ✔️ Specialized mentoring programs for employees impacted by cancer ✔️ Forums to connect with others, share experiences, and exchange resources ✔️ Toolkits with resources and tips or advice to support mental and physical health for all employees In addition, our Oncology Impact Funds have attracted more than $1.3 billion in capital since 2016, and we support nearly 60 health programs through our UBS Optimus Foundation.

As we mark International Women’s Day, we would like to show our thanks and support to some of the women scientists and leaders we work with.  In this video, you will hear and see Dr. Monica Bertagnolli, Director of The National Institutes of Health and the Winner of the 2023 Beacon Award for Women Leaders,  explain the importance of supporting women in science and beyond.  This will be the first post of a weekly series for the month of March, highlighting extraordinary women scientists and leaders. Women have long been the backbone of significant advances in research, often serving as unsung heroes with invaluable contributions in the relentless fight against cancer. However, women remain an under-represented group in many aspects of science and healthcare. At the National Foundation for Cancer Research (NFCR), we believe in women's power in science, in generating knowledge and leading the mission of fighting cancer, and it is crucial to leverage, support, and increase the visibility and accessibility of women in scientific fields. Dr. Sujuan Ba, the president and CEO of NFCR, passionately shares, "I have always believed men and women carry the sky equally. Believe in yourself, stay curious, pay attention, work smartly, seek help if needed, and support each other." As we celebrate today, let's commit to recognizing and uplifting the remarkable women not only in the science field but also in the global community. If you would like to learn more about these inspiring women, head over to nfcr.org. Take this opportunity to share the stories of women who inspire you! #nih #national #internationalwomensday #womeninstem #empowerment #womenempowerment #cancer #cancerresearch #research #advocate #beatcancer #curecancer #columbia #washingtonuniversity

🌟Help Me to Help You to Make a Difference! 🌟 In 2011, I had to advocate for the proper diagnostic treatment that eventually revealed breast cancer in my body. Today, I am still advocating on behalf of the The American Cancer Society as they introduce VOICES of Black Women, a groundbreaking long-term study dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of Black women in the US. Our aim is to enroll at least 100,000 Black women over the next few years to better understand health conditions like cancer and develop strategies to improve overall health outcomes. We are seeking Black women between the ages of 25 and 55 who have not had cancer (excluding basal or squamous cell skin cancer) to join this pivotal study. You can do 3 things to help: 1. Share this message. 2. Go to Voices.cancer.org to learn more. 3. Register to be a part of the research program; which only requires answering a few questions online. Be a part of this transformative journey and help us make a lasting impact! #HealthEquity #BlackWomenHealth #CancerResearch #AmericanCancerSociety #VOICESofBlackWomen

Every time I go through a major life change or milestone, I take the time to meet the newest version of myself. I let go of what no longer serves me and move towards what pulls at my heart and spirit. Now, at 41... ... my style has evolved ... my priorities have evolved ... my ambitions have evolved When I embrace the skin I'm in, it's the truest, most authentic version of who I could ever be. And it removes any longing or shame around trying to "get back to" who I will never be again. I will *never* "get back" to... ... my pre-baby body ... life before marriage and motherhood ... being a good corporate soldier ... playing small and behind the scenes ... allowing narcissists to play me ... the first company I founded And I'm deeply grateful for these truths. As so many of you know, I celebrate – and elevate – women; through my company Ella, The Fairway (Dinners + Membership) and our Hype Women Movement (and Podcast). And now, I need you to hype me. 🙏 🙏 🙏   Only the #1 woman from each group will advance to the Fab Over 40 Semi-Finals after voting closes at 7 p.m. PST tonight. Please vote here: https://lnkd.in/gZDqX83d You can cast a single vote for free or multiple votes that also count as a tax-deductible donation supporting early detection, education and support services to those affected by breast cancer. When the world supports women, everybody wins. #HypeWomen #vote #fabover40 #cancer #cancerawareness #breastcancer
