The Intersection of Wellness, Community, and Survivorship: Equity’s Critical Role in Cancer Care
Guest Speaker
Rev. Sonja B. Williams, PhD; Wellness House
Description
Cancer survivorship requires a multifaceted approach that integrates physical wellness practices with psychological counseling to address the complex challenges faced by survivors. Equitable access to these integrated services remains a critical yet often overlooked component of comprehensive cancer care. When survivorship support acknowledges diverse cultural perspectives and socioeconomic realities, patients experience significantly improved outcomes and quality of life. Creating truly equitable cancer care systems demands intentional efforts to remove barriers that disproportionately affect marginalized communities, ensuring all survivors receive the holistic support necessary for recovery and long-term wellness.
