During our KCC Partner Conversations many of you told us about your efforts to address health equity and interest in learning more strategies. To meet this request, we asked Dr. Lorovia Williams to review information on cancer health inequities in Kentucky and lead a discussion on possible solutions to advance health equity.

What will we do with information from these conversations?
Your stories and comments will help us consider how we may want to revise the Cancer Action Plan based on what is really happening in Kentucky and where we need to grow. We hope to learn more about the Consortium, how it functions and how we might improve upon the structure moving forward to better support you all and your work. Once we have digested this information, we will report back to you on some of our thoughts and findings and get your input to make sure we are moving in the right direction.
