Community Engagement as a Driver of Improved Cancer Awareness and Outcomes

Infographic showing three core challenges contributing to cancer mortality disparities—structural barriers to early detection, inadequate awareness and mobilization, and underutilization of community expertise. Each challenge links to a health system initiative: Mount Sinai's mobile prostate screening for underserved Black men in NYC, UMiami's partnership with the Dolphins Cancer Challenge to boost awareness and funding, and Montefiore’s BOLD program offering psychosocial and wellness support led by former cancer survivors. Icons and arrows visually connect the challenges to their corresponding solutions.
