Speaker: Abraham Aragones MD, MS; Assistant Attending, Immigrant Health & Cancer Disparities Service, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center



More than 45 million immigrants live in the US.  Cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among immigrants, and many have limited access to health care. Join us to learn about the best evidence-based practices to increase cancer screening and prevention in this hard-to-reach population.  The potential impact of recent developments on immigrants' access to health care will also be addressed.
