This World Cancer Day, we take a moment to recognize cancer care within our communities, and work towards a cancer-free future.

While we live in a time of inspiring advancements in cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment, many who seek cancer care hit barriers. Income, education, geographical location and discrimination based on ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability and lifestyle are just a few of the factors that can affect care.

This year’s World Cancer Day’s theme, “Close the Care Gap”, we look to eliminate health inequities, ensuring that everyone has access to quality health services when, where and how they need them.
