STEMM & Cancer Health Equity
@scheq.org
Our mission is to increase STEMM workforce diversity and to improve outcomes for underrepresented, underserved, and marginalized populations navigating the cancer care continuum.
Who counts as a “professional” now? Recent US loan rule changes keep a tiny list of fields (medicine, law, etc.) as “professional” and push out nursing, SLP, social work, education, public health + more. That shrinks equity-focused career pipelines. #healthequity #studentloans #STEMM

Part of our why is helping diverse and underserved patients navigate medical care, #advocate for care they are entitled to, and how to address #medicalracism.

What is one reason we were founded? To help underserved populations navigate care and battle #medicalracism.

We had a great #Patient Perspectives Panel that was moderated by Angela James. Thanks Ruby, Juanita, Natalie, and Dave for telling your stories. One big takeaway was that each of them had a different life before #lungcancer. #LCIS2025 #SCHEQ @emanleyjr.bsky.social

We want to thank our Jim Pantelas and Dr. Kennedy for kicking off our first full session of our 3rd Lung Cancer Interventions Summit. They discussed challenges in #SCLC and that US Veterans face. @emanleyjr.bsky.social

Jim gave a great summary of the challenges that US Veterans face navigating #lungcancer. One big takeaway is that the decisions on who is "exposed" to carcinogens can change based on location. #LCIS2025 #SCHEQ
