Wafik El-Deiry: Important Messages from Our Community at Cancer Talk Cafe
Wafik El-Deiry, Associate Dean for Oncologic Sciences at the Warren Alpert Medical School and Director of the Legorreta Cancer Center at Brown University, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“The Legorreta Cancer Center at Brown University The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University is very grateful to Sheldon Holder for the impact he has had in the Community in Rhode Island over the last several years.
Today he led Cancer Talk Cafe that he started here in Rhode Island featuring informal discussions with community members.
Today’s meeting featured a video testimonial by Mason Santos (DJ Finesse in Providence).
Dr. Holder passed the baton to Sherise Chantell Rogers, MD, MBA, MPH who will be leading our cancer center’s Community Outreach efforts as Dr. Holder moves to Michigan to a new leadership position. We wish him all the best in the next phase of his career. Thanks to Carrie Felice Bridges at Brown University Health for helping make today’s event possible.
At today’s event we heard important messages from our community about how a diagnosis of cancer is communicated to a patient and their family.
We heard from Mason about difficulties with cancer treatment. We learned about questions patients or their loved ones wished they had answers to.
We listened about what we as physicians and other providers can do better. We shared information about clinical trials, the hope that new treatments bring and we spoke about some of our research aimed at reducing the side effects from radiation.
We spoke about nutrition and physical activity and even had ideas for new clinical trials from the community feedback. We shared some information about our clinical trials program.”
