Policy Briefing: "Breaking the Barriers to Breast Cancer Care: Exploring Policy Options"
Co-sponsored briefing by the CA Latino Legislative Caucus, along with the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and the California Pan Ethnic Health Network (CPEHN).
Join us Jan. 12, 2017 for the legislative briefing "Breaking the Barriers to Breast Cancer Care: Exploring Policy Options"
One in eight women will develop breast cancer. Yet from narrow provider networks to cultural and linguistic obstacles, serious barriers exist for women seeking breast cancer treatment in California. At this Jan. 12 legislative briefing in Sacramento, researchers from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research will present findings from a new statewide study on obstacles to breast cancer care.
Speakers include:
- Sen. Richard Pan (D-Sacramento)
- Ninez Ponce, associate director, UCLA Center for Health Policy Research
- Sarah de Guia, executive director, California Pan-Ethnic Health Network
- AJ Scheitler, report co-author, UCLA Center for Health Policy Research
The UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and the UCLA Center for Cancer Prevention & Control Research partnered on the study, funded by the California Breast Cancer Research Program. Please join us to learn how we can tear down the barriers to high-quality breast cancer care in California.
Open to the public.
