Advancing Access: Blood Cancers & The Black Community

Join us for a free, in-person education program for the blood cancer community. Registration is required.

About the program 

Join us for a community discussion highlighting myeloma and other blood cancers that disproportionately impact the Black Community. Learn about the signs and symptoms, how and where to access screening and care, and the role that inclusive, equitable research plays in providing new treatment options for everyone. 

Our panel, featuring cancer care and research experts, will facilitate a conversation focused on informed decision making, self-advocacy, diagnosis and treatment for Black patients and their caregivers. 

Resources from the community, informational handouts, giveaways, and a catered dinner will be provided for attendees. Accessible, ample, and free parking is available on-site. 

We hope you will join us!
