It’s time to erase the line of inequality in breast cancer care.
Black Women Are More Likely To Face Mortality From Breast Cancer, Despite Its Lower Incidence Rate Compared To White Women. In A Systemically Racist Healthcare System, Black Women Are Often Dismissed And Ignored And Are Treated With Prejudices That Keep Them From Receiving An Equitable Standard Of Care.
This needs to change. This is why The Chrysalis Initiative launched BC Navi to close this healthcare gap. This digital resource provides Black women (and other disparate groups) with the tools to recognize and address racism in their cancer care, including 1:1 coaching, accessing resources and a patient community, and viewing a patient-curated provider directory—all with the purpose of erasing the line of inequality in breast cancer care.
