“Last night’s event was an incredible opportunity to connect with influential leaders while highlighting the important work being done at Karmanos Cancer Institute. The vision of a ‘World Free of Cancer’ is an inspiring goal, and Karmanos is working tirelessly to make that a reality, not just through cutting-edge treatments but also by addressing significant health care disparities in underserved communities.
The partnership between Karmanos, Wayne State University, and McLaren Health Care is crucial in advancing both cancer prevention and treatment while fostering deeper engagement with local communities. Dr. Hayley Thompson’s insights into how the Community Outreach and Engagement (COE) program is improving cancer screening and prevention, particularly in Detroit and across Eastern and Central Michigan, are key to reducing those disparities. Community Leaders feedback provides crucial guidance to Karmanos COE. The collaboration with NCI Comprehensive Cancer Centers ensures that Karmanos’ efforts are part of a larger, transformative movement within the cancer care landscape.
The article below penned by Dr. Thompson and colleagues is a great resource for those looking to understand the specific impact of these programs.”
