Many barriers can impact a person's ability to prevent, find, treat, and survive cancer. These barriers are because of deeply rooted, long-standing inequities at all levels of society that will take an intentional effort to address in order to have equal cancer outcomes. They are complex and have many social, economic, and cultural influences that intertwine and impact each other. They include such examples as: <br /> </p> <ul><li><a href="http://pressroom.cancer.org/releases?item=908" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Racism and other forms of discrimination</a></li><li>Poverty</li><li>Limited access to the health care system, including affordable and adequate insurance coverage and access to high-quality health care</li><li>Inadequate pay and lack of paid time off from work for medical care- Low-quality education </li><li>Lack of access to healthy and affordable foods- Lack of transportation that is accessible, affordable, and reliable-</li><li>Lack of safe, stable, and affordable housing</li></ul> <h3>Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion</h3> <p><a href="/about-us/what-we-do/multicultural.html">Diversity, equity, and inclusion</a> are critical to achieving our mission, and reducing cancer disparities is an overarching goal of the American Cancer Society and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. We need to make sure everyone has the ability to benefit from advancements in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. All people deserve a fair and just opportunity to live longer, healthier lives; this is demonstrated through our <a href="/about-us/who-we-are/our-core-values.html">Core Value</a> of diversity and intentionally striving for equity through inclusion and respect. </p> <p>We believe that we will not reach our mission if we are not inclusive of every community touched by cancer, actively working towards ending cancer disparities. We acknowledge that there is still much work to be done, in partnership with communities that have been disproportionately burdened by cancer and who experience greater obstacles to cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, and survival. This includes Black people and African Americans; Hispanic/Latino people; Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders; Indigenous people and Alaska Natives; LGBTQ+ people; and people with disabilities. Health is not always “one size fits all,” and we must be intentional, thoughtful, and inclusive if we are to have long-lasting impact.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container responsivegrid default-container aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <div id="container-fb2d6de278" class="cmp-container container-fluid "> <div class="row row-eq-height"> <div class=" col-sm-10 "> <div class="aem-Grid aem-Grid--12 aem-Grid--default--12 "> <div class="quote quotes-left-border quotes-smaller-width aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"><div class="quotes-box"> <div class="blockquote"> <span class="quote-icon"></span> <p>…In short, we are leading the fight against cancer that benefits all, and ‘walking the talk’ in every aspect of our organization.

Health Equity is not a program but rather an approach to improve health outcomes and reduce cancer disparities. Our mission is to engage marginalized populations to shape patient support policies, programs, and services while addressing barriers to quality preventive care, screening, cancer treatment, and survivorship.</p> <p>Most importantly, we need to listen to the experiences and perspectives of people with cancer, their caregivers, and their communities, and engage them in the fight against cancer every step of the way. We’re proud to have staff, volunteers, partners, and funders who are deeply committed to diversity, inclusion, and health equity. It has never been more important to the work we do.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container responsivegrid default-container aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <div id="container-32f24e2cb5" class="cmp-container container-fluid "> <div class="row row-eq-height"> <div class=" col-sm-9 "> <div class="aem-Grid aem-Grid--12 aem-Grid--default--12 "> <div class="image aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <div data-asset-id="b4e90fa8-f9a0-412e-9ecf-253ac1f7e2e1" id="image-e0f3cbe742" class="imageComponent cmp-image " itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject"> <img srcset="/adobe/dynamicmedia/deliver/dm-aid--b4e90fa8-f9a0-412e-9ecf-253ac1f7e2e1/healthy-equity-family-walking.png?quality=82&width=100&preferwebp=true 100w,/adobe/dynamicmedia/deliver/dm-aid--b4e90fa8-f9a0-412e-9ecf-253ac1f7e2e1/healthy-equity-family-walking.png?quality=82&width=768&preferwebp=true 768w,/adobe/dynamicmedia/deliver/dm-aid--b4e90fa8-f9a0-412e-9ecf-253ac1f7e2e1/healthy-equity-family-walking.png?quality=82&width=1024&preferwebp=true 1024w,/adobe/dynamicmedia/deliver/dm-aid--b4e90fa8-f9a0-412e-9ecf-253ac1f7e2e1/healthy-equity-family-walking.png?quality=82&width=1280&preferwebp=true 1280w,/adobe/dynamicmedia/deliver/dm-aid--b4e90fa8-f9a0-412e-9ecf-253ac1f7e2e1/healthy-equity-family-walking.png?quality=82&width=1440&preferwebp=true 1440w" src="/adobe/dynamicmedia/deliver/dm-aid--b4e90fa8-f9a0-412e-9ecf-253ac1f7e2e1/healthy-equity-family-walking.png?quality=82&preferwebp=true" loading="lazy" class="cmp-image__image " itemprop="contentUrl" width="537" height="302" alt="Muslim husband and wife walking the streets with children" data-original="/content/dam/cancer-org/images/photographs/campaigns/landing-pages/healthy-equity-family-walking.png"/> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container responsivegrid default-container aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <div id="low-par-container" class="cmp-container low-par-container text-left"> <div class="aem-Grid aem-Grid--12 aem-Grid--default--12 "> <div class="inheritance aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="experiencefragment aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <div id="experiencefragment-993c206649" class="cmp-experiencefragment cmp-experiencefragment--footer"> <div id="container-7e3c844009" class="cmp-container text-left"> <div class="aem-Grid aem-Grid--12 aem-Grid--default--12 "> <div class="container responsivegrid default-container aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <div id="container-37bb881bfe" class="cmp-container text-left"> <div class="aem-Grid aem-Grid--12 aem-Grid--default--12 "> <div class="container responsivegrid bg-color-teal-50 txt-color-neutral-600 aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <div id="container-f1d401fd69" class="cmp-container container-fluid container-defaultTP48 container-defaultBP48 text-center"> <div class="aem-Grid aem-Grid--12 aem-Grid--default--12 "> <div class="text aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <div id="text-36672d24b7" class="cmp-text"> <h3>Help us end cancer as we know it, for everyone.</h3> </div> </div> <div class="button donate-primary-button cancer-button medium-size aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <a id="button-0f5abfb982" class="cmp-button" href="https://donate.cancer.org/?campaign=default&lang=en"> <i class="fa-solid fa-heart mr-1" aria-hidden="true"></i> <span class="cmp-button__text">Donate with Confidence</span> </a> </div> <div class="text aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <div id="text-a019578a49" class="cmp-text"> <p style=" text-align: center; "> <br /> <a href="https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/131788491"><img src="/content/dam/cancer-org/images/logos/four-star-rating-badge.png" alt=" Charity Navigator 4-star rating button" width="89" height="88"/></a> <a href="https://give.org/charity-reviews/national/Health/American-Cancer-Society-in-Kennesaw-ga-186"><img src="/content/dam/cancer-org/images/logos/2023-accredited-seal-blue.png" alt=" BBB rating button" width="52" height="88"/></a> <a href="https://www.guidestar.org/profile/shared/d1390a0f-f0b9-4bc7-a2aa-a452e5e4052b"><img src="/content/dam/cancer-org/images/logos/candid-seal-platinum-2024.png" alt=" Candid rating button" width="89" height="88"/></a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="acsfooter aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"><noindex> <footer aria-label="footer" role="contentinfo"> <div> <div class="footer-top-wrap"> <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="footer-top row"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-xl-4"> <div class="footer-contact" role="contentinfo"> <div class="text-box"> <h3 class="contact-info" aria-label="Cancer information, answers, and hope.
