E3 NexHealth’s Post

#Excerpt: “Very few African American women have been included in the research that underpins a lot of the treatment, the medicines," Fields said. She's working with the American Cancer Society to change that and recruiting Black women for a historic new study. "We need to supplement the data with focused study on Black women," Fields said. "So we can understand the full spectrum of what are the factors and the combination of factors that actually causes cancer." The study, called Voices of Black Women, will include 100,000 healthy Black women to understand why their cancer survival rates are so low.” Beyond proud of the work that my dear friend Anthonise Louis Fields Ph.D, CEO of E3 NexHealth is doing! Heavy is the head that wears the crown. However, she wears it well as she is striving to reduce the death rate due to cancer in Black women!
