FLASCO is bringing together leaders in cancer disparities and health equity to advance the understanding of and promote their elimination. Cancer disparities represent a major public health problem in our state, and across the country. Professionals from academic, industry, and the community are coming together, with the shared mission of closing health equity gaps, and developing and sustaining diversity and inclusion efforts in the health system of Florida. Together they will promote the exchange of novel ideas, discuss the latest findings in the field, and stimulate the development of new research, advocacy, and policy on cancer disparities.
