Many communities face disproportionate cancer burdens and outcomes due to race, ethnicity, geography, sexual orientation, gender identity, and chronic poverty. For example, Black women are 40% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women. Patients from racial and ethnic minority groups are often less likely to receive recommended treatments, such as chemotherapy and molecularly targeted therapies.

Kaiser Permanente – a member of the Together for Supportive Cancer Care coalition – recently outlined its commitment to accessible, whole-person supportive cancer care in Newsweek. Through its Cancer Support Line, Kaiser connects patients with specialists who provide essential non-medical support, from financial assistance to support with transportation to nutrition guidance.
