STEMM & Cancer Health Equity
@scheq.org
Our mission is to increase STEMM workforce diversity and to improve outcomes for underrepresented, underserved, and marginalized populations navigating the cancer care continuum.
Part of our why is helping diverse and underserved patients navigate medical care, #advocate for care they are entitled to, and how to address #medicalracism.
