KEYNOTE: Improving Health and Cancer Outcomes in Our Community: A Vision and Hope for the Future, with Jasmine Zapata, MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer and State Epidemiologist for Community Health at the WI Department of Health Services.
Health Equity and Cancer: How do social determinants of health -- such as job security, housing, and access to healthy foods -- affect cancer outcomes in Wisconsin? How can we use health equity data to build community programs that make an impact?
