Latinas Contra Cancer works to create a more equitable and accessible healthcare system for the Latino community around issues of cancer.
Health Justice Starts Here
From language barriers to income loss, our community members are too often overlooked by the healthcare system. At Latinas Contra Cancer, we stand with those most impacted by inequity, ensuring they are seen, heard, and supported through every step of their cancer journey. We build the power of Latinos and their families to navigate, challenge, and transform the healthcare system. Through education, advocacy, and culturally rooted care, we are shaping a future where health is a right, not a privilege.
How We Show Up for Our Community
From urgent support to long-term healing, our programs are built to meet people where they are — with dignity, compassion, and culturally rooted care. Whether navigating a new diagnosis or finding stability after treatment, we’re here every step of the way.
