Our 2026 Latino Cancer Patient Advocate Sponsors
Latino Cancer Patient Advocacy Training
Patient health leaders help cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and others navigate the healthcare system and raise the Latino voice in research.
As cancer continues to be a top cause of death for Latinos and all people, patient health leadership is key to better understanding the population鈥檚 needs and access to preventative screenings, treatments, survivorship, and palliative care.
That鈥檚 why we host the Latino Cancer Patient Advocate Training Program.
In 2024, at our 鈥淎dvancing Cancer Research for Latinos and All Populations鈥 Conference, 15 Latina women from across the country came together for the first in-person meeting of the Latino Cancer Patient Advocate Training Program, an initiative to teach cancer survivors to become research patient health leaders.
.
Now the program has readied a new group of patient advocates.
The program welcomed 16 new Latino cancer survivors to participate in the second cohort of Latino Cancer Patient Advocate Training Program in February 2026.
