Schroeder will outline the major areas of inequality based on her organization’s survey of the Cincinnati area, and Sunderland will discuss the efforts to change inequality in cancer care based on a method of caring called “Navigation.” Both speakers are optimistic that healthcare can be improved though greater education and action.
