Our cancer center is 50 years strong in 2024, and our nursing team has been on the frontlines since the beginning.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who attended the Health District Directors' Summit yesterday.

We look forward to keeping the conversation going and crossing a few action items off the list.

See you in 2025!

Director of the Piedmont Health District, Maria Almond, MD, MPH, shares her thoughts on the power of synergy between academic, governmental, and community organizations.

'Conversations' - Rev. Cheryl Ivey Green, D.Min. explains why the Health District Director's Summit is so crucial; it brings the community and medical professionals together to make #OneTeamOneFight

'No one ever talks about why. They'll talk about the 'what' and they'll talk the 'how'. We need to talk about ‘the why’!' - Dr. Lisa C. Richardson

The partnership that VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has with UVA Cancer Center allows us to collectively reach more Virginians.

There’s no such thing as my center or your center when lives are at risk.

It is an honor to serve with UVA.

VCU's Dr. Maghboeba Mosavel prompts the audience 'How can we use research to make a difference, not just collect data - but - to listen to communities?”

“We know there are challenges in life, poverty, inadequate housing conditions and stress, Facts and Faith Fridays is where scripture and science collaborate”, states Pastor Tryon Williams 'We are our brother's keeper.' #OneTeamOneFight

Glad to see such a strong turnout for the 2nd annual Health District Directors’ Summit today.

My VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center team and our invaluable partners organized a day of education and empowerment.

One team. One fight.

As we round out #MinorityHealthMonth and on the heels of last week's Alliance for Equity in Cancer Care meeting, I’m reminded of the impact of such initiatives, serving as a framework for #navigation . In breaking down #barrierstocare , our work can extend beyond the institutional walls of our grantees.
