All volunteers asked to participate, as one way to help advance our health equity work
The American Cancer Society and ACS CAN work every day to achieve our mission to save lives, celebrate lives, and lead the fight for a world without cancer. To achieve our mission, it is imperative that we fully advance health equity, so that all people have a fair and just opportunity to live a longer, healthier life free from cancer regardless of how much money they make, the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, gender identity, their disability status, or where they live.
To ensure we are strengthening our organization's collective capacity to advance health equity, we are once again this year asking all staff and volunteers to complete a quick health equity survey. This year's survey, which is now open via this survey link through Monday, October 12, will gauge what staff and volunteers know about health equity, what actions they may have taken over the past year to help advance health equity, and what resources they need to increase the integration of health equity into their work.
The survey should only take about 10 minutes to complete, and survey results will be used to help the Society's Health Equity team ensure we are providing our staff and volunteers with the information, materials, and tools they need to be health equity champions and reduce cancer disparities. Though this is the third consecutive year we've fielded this survey, all staff and volunteers are encouraged to complete it even if they have completed it before so that our Health Equity team understands current needs and levels of understanding.
