Catch cancer before it catches you. Know what to look/test for and exactly how to treat it based on YOUR body and what YOU need from a genetic makeup. It is time to start being proactive and saving lives and not reactive and trying to simply treat lives.

By joining CACV, you become part of a group of dedicated individuals and organizations that are committed to fostering communication, collaboration, and community awareness to meet the multi-faceted needs of persons living with cancer.

As we celebrate 25 years of impact at the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, we’re proud to highlight a transformative milestone from 2021. Through innovative research, we saw the 5-year survival rate for children with high-risk group 3 medulloblastoma leap from 54% to 73% by adding a chemotherapy drug during radiation. That means 20 more children out of every 100 diagnosed will survive — a truly life-changing difference. This kind of progress is possible because of people like you. When companies like yours choose to support St. Baldrick’s, you’re directly contributing to breakthroughs that save lives. Imagine the impact your team could have on the future of childhood cancer research.

The challenges facing cancer outcomes are deeply intertwined with societal inequities, requiring a multifaceted approach to ensure equitable cancer outcomes. From systemic racism and discrimination to economic barriers and access issues in healthcare, these factors significantly impact individuals' abilities to engage effectively with cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and survival strategies. The path to equitable cancer care demands a concerted, intentional effort toward dismantling these barriers and adopting a framework of diversity, equity, and inclusion. This approach must be patient-centered, listening to and incorporating the experiences and needs of those affected by cancer, including patients, caregivers, and their communities, ensuring that every step towards fighting cancer is taken together, leaving no one behind. Few are better suited to lead this important national initiative. Nadine Barrett, PhD, MA, MS, you can count on St. Elizabeth Healthcare to be right there with you. Tracy N. S.

We’re all about that action! 👏🏽 We don’t just talk the talk, we walk it! Our Project SOAR (Speaking Our African American Realities) research with #UCLA is a transformative initiative that delves deep into the breast cancer context, specifically focusing on the Strong Black Woman schema. This schema encompasses historically rooted expectations for Black women to prioritize caregiving over self-care, suppress emotions, present an image of strength, decline support, and strive for success even without adequate resources. Research makes the world go around. Together we will MAKE change happen 🎀 #CarriesTOUCH#EndThe41Percent#ProjectSOAR#Research#ForUsByUs#blackwomen

It is breast cancer awareness month; I’m reminded of how important it is to take care of our health and be there for one another. For me, this month is a powerful reminder to prioritize our wellbeing—whether it’s making sure we encourage our loved ones to get regular screenings, or simply lending a listening ear to those who need support. Early detection can truly save lives, but so can compassion, community, and understanding. Let’s continue raising awareness, uplifting survivors, and advocating for those in need. Together, we can inspire change and provide hope. 💪💗 #BreastCancerAwareness #WeAreStrongerTogether #HealthMatters.
