About the Pathways to Equity Symposium
Over the years our annual Pathways to Equity Symposium has hosted researchers and community champions to discuss important topics related to cancer health disparities. The Symposium provides a forum for us to learn about best practices, to dialogue, and to reflect on what we can do to address cancer health disparities in a more inclusive and equitable way.
Pathways to Equity Symposium 2024
The 2024 symposium focus was on taking the next steps to create partnerships between researchers and community members. The free, in person and online event was held on June 6, 2024.

What to expect at a Pathways to Equity Symposium
Relevant Topics
Each year, we focus on topics affecting our communities in vulnerable situations. This includes topics of health disparities, equity in cancer survivorship and research, building trust between medical centers, culturally tailored cancer-screening interventions, racial justice, health equity through empowered communities, and achieving indigenous health equity through policy and systems change.
Community Representation
This is a space for learning and dialogue between researchers and communities. Each year we invite speakers from different communities to facilitate learning for researchers on best practices for working with communities experiencing inequities.
Strategy and Commitment
We strategize ways to strengthen the Cancer Consortium's presence and commit to building trust among communities most affected by cancer-related health disparities in Washington State.
