Current Challenges & Future Directions
Due to the current COVID-19 (Corona Virus) situation in WA and other parts of the country, the SCHD20 organizing committee has decided to postpone the meeting to Fall 2020. The planning committee is working on finalizing the new dates and when they are finalized, we will update this website with the new dates.
The 2020 Summit on National & Global Cancer Health Disparities is planned with the goal of creating a momentum to minimize the disparities in cancer care.
The summit will feature lectures, discussions and presidential-style debates among leaders across the spectrum of healthcare delivery. It is our hope that this summit will lead us in a direction to help thousands of cancer patients and their families who are still deprived of cutting-edge cancer treatment.
