Latinos often face increased or more severe cancer burdens and experiences than other groups.
Why?
And how can we work toward healthier lives for Latinos and all groups?
In honor of Minority Health Promotion Day, you’re invited to a National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Cancer Institute (@thenci) Twitter chat at 1 p.m. ET April 30, 2015, to discuss cancer health disparities among different population groups, cancer types, and initiatives and challenges in reducing these disparities.
Use #NMHM15Chat to follow along!
@SaludToday, the social media campaign of Dr. Amelie G. Ramirez and the Institute for Health Promotion Research at the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio, will be an active chat participant, along with many others.
