Expert shares how ACS can use design thinking to advance health equity

Recording of webcast now available for volunteers and staff
 A recording of a livestream event in January is now available for volunteers and staff who are interested in advancing health equity and social change using design thinking principles. The 50-minute webcast features George Aye, a nationally-renowned leader in design thinking and social sector innovation. 

Design thinking encourages organizations to focus on the unmet needs of the people they serve by employing empathy, ideation, and experimentation in their services, products, policies, and strategies. This presentation will help volunteers and staff uncover hidden opportunities for innovation in their daily work, shape positive change, and advance health equity. 
ACS and ACS CAN are intentionally integrating health equity principles into our research, programs, services, and advocacy through a 3-year grant with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
If you would like more information about this webcast or to learn more about how ACS and ACS CAN are advancing health equity, please email the Health Equity Team at healthequity@cancer.org.
