Cancer Center Series: Meeting People Where They Are – Increasing Access to Cancer and Mental Health Care

People who have serious mental illness are more than twice as likely to die from cancer, less likely to receive timely, high quality cancer care, and more likely to be excluded from research. In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, join us to learn more about how the Collaborative Care and Community Engagement Program strives to improve cancer treatment for patients with mental illness.

Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EST
