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.

What is one reason we were founded? To help underserved populations navigate care and battle #medicalracism.

We had a great #Patient Perspectives Panel that was moderated by Angela James. Thanks Ruby, Juanita, Natalie, and Dave for telling your stories. One big takeaway was that each of them had a different life before #lungcancer. #LCIS2025 #SCHEQ @emanleyjr.bsky.social

We want to thank our Jim Pantelas and Dr. Kennedy for kicking off our first full session of our 3rd Lung Cancer Interventions Summit. They discussed challenges in #SCLC and that US Veterans face. @emanleyjr.bsky.social

Jim gave a great summary of the challenges that US Veterans face navigating #lungcancer. One big takeaway is that the decisions on who is "exposed" to carcinogens can change based on location. #LCIS2025 #SCHEQ
