Megan-Claire Chase: Racism in Healthcare – You Can’t Escape Race in Cancer

Megan-Claire Chase, Breast Cancer Program Director for SHARE Cancer Support and Freelance Writer for Various Companies, shared on LinkedIn:

“This is one of my favorite pieces, published last year in Cancer Health magazine. It continues to be a powerful way for me to spotlight racism in healthcare. Read.

I received overwhelming, heartfelt feedback from Black patients and people of color who shared how much it resonated with them. I’ve been thinking about recording a video of me reading it aloud—there’s an undeniable strength and emotion in delivering it that way, and I believe it would amplify the message even more. Righteous anger and frustration are justified.”
