Health Disparities Committee
This committee's goal was to address disparities in the burden of cancer.

Josh Derr (NCI Cancer Information Service) and Bob Pinderhughes (Intercultural Cancer Council) lead this committee. 

The two Institute of Medicine Reports about which Gloria Lewis spoke at the March 3 meeting are linked in the Member Resources Section.

The Community Forum Section has summaries of the forums that have been held to date as well as a schedule of upcoming events.

Elizabeth Gardner passed on a couple of great resources which might be helpful in working on strategies.  Check them out!
