Скачать или смотреть Toward Health Equity for Black People Impacted by TNBC: Update from Gilead Oncology Grantees

Toward Health Equity for Black People Impacted by triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is Gilead’s inaugural oncology grant program. In 2021-2022, the first cohort of grantees received funding for this program – a total of $5.7 million to 21 organizations. Many grantees are community-based groups focused on grassroots efforts, and others are advancing equity at the regional and national levels.

This year’s grantees include:
o Advocates for Community Wellness, Chicago, IL
o Association of Community Cancer Centers, Rockville, MD
o Black Women’s Health Imperative, Washington, D.C.
o Cancer Support Community, Washington, D.C.

Gilead hosted an in-person convening in September 2022 for all grantees focused on improving health outcomes for Black people impacted by TNBC. While there are groups across the United States focused on changing the outlook for Black women with TNBC, professional networks are limited, and opportunities to speak directly are rare. Programming throughout 2022, including the September convening, focused heavily on this sharing, and have delivered concrete actions to help continue amplifying the work of these groups. Some of the outcomes included continued learning and collaboration, developing a TNBC resource hub and aligning on the priority needs to target.

Black women are the experts on the Black experience in TNBC. At Gilead, we are proud to partner with the organizations working to create a healthier, more equitable and brighter future for women with TNBC.
