Promoting health equity is an important objective for most oncology and public health researchers; however, developing an intervention designed to move beyond the written word and into clinical practice can be a challenging process. This webinar will explore what it means to work with FQHCs on pragmatic cancer-based interventions, bridging the gap between academic research and the needs of community health centers. Julie Armin, PhD<\/strong> and Nancy Johnson, RN, MSN, MS, PhD<\/strong> will introduce the University of Arizona’s fruitful collaboration with El Rio Health, one of the largest federally qualified health centers in the country. Together, they will share their experiences in developing, implementing, and evaluating interventions that deliver long-lasting community impact.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Webinar topics include:<\/p>\n The Q&A discussion will be led by Gloria D. Coronado, PhD<\/strong>, a national expert on issues of health disparities with extensive experience in interventions aimed at increasing screening rates at community health centers.<\/p>\n What: Alliance to Advance Patient-Centered Cancer Care Webinar \u2013<\/strong>Advancing Health Equity with Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs): An Oncology Perspective Registration for this event is closed.
