Overview

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and MediSys Health Network, with support from the MSK Ralph Lauren Center and the City College of New York-Memorial Sloan Kettering Partnership Program for Cancer Research, proudly present the third annual complimentary conference on Achieving Health Equity in Cancer Care. This dynamic, one-day event brings together experts from various fields, institutions, and specialties to explore actionable strategies for advancing health equity in underserved populations. The conference features globally and nationally recognized speakers, as well as leaders from community hospitals—offering a 360-degree perspective on effective, equitable cancer care delivery.

This year’s program centers on Harnessing the Power of Research, Technology, and Community-Based Partnerships. Session topics include the role of technology in improving outcomes and access, the geography of disease, academic–community partnerships, and care delivery through community ties. These discussions are relevant to every member of the healthcare team, and we welcome all to attend.

This conference is intended for all healthcare providers with an interest in advancing health equity, including physicians, advanced practice providers, trainees, nurses, patient navigators, social workers, and case managers. Beyond the insights shared, this conference offers a unique opportunity to build community and foster collaborations among individuals passionate about advancing health equity in cancer care.
