Blood, Bones & Beyond: Understanding Myeloma and Closing the Care Gap

Program details
Join Blood Cancer United for this informative program, designed to support and empower patients and family members through a blood cancer diagnosis. 
 
Through an engaging, supportive discussion with Jalecia King of Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, we will explore: 

  • An overview of multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer that is twice as prevalent in Black communities
  • Specific barriers that Black patients face in cancer care and how those barriers create racially disproportionate outcomes for patients with myeloma
  • Strategies for self-advocacy and ways to protect and empower yourself and your loved ones for better outcomes after a cancer diagnosis
  • Trusted resources provided by Blood Cancer United that support patients, families, and caregivers throughout their blood cancer journey. 

Bring your questions and be part of the conversation!  All are welcome – we encourage you to bring your caregiver and family members.
