New HOW DO I? Videos
We just launched brand new videos on all things insurance!
In our HOW DO I? short video series, cancer survivors and experts guide you through issues that you may face after a cancer diagnosis. Topics cover mental health, nutrition, personal care, survivorship, and brand new videos on insurance!
Check out these latest videos, below, which will teach you about the basics of insurance in the U.S., the different types of insurance, eligibility, how to find the right plan for you, and what to do if you lose coverage. M PT
Cancer Legal Care has joined forces with LaShaune P. Johnson, PhD (a three time cancer survivor and professional troublemaker) to better understand Black family breast cancer journeys.
In our ongoing efforts to support more inclusive practices in our work, we are starting a series of exploratory conversations about the relationship that medical legal partnerships such as CLC have in the lived experiences of Black families and communities.
If you are willing to lend your wisdom as a patient/survivor or a caregiver in a one-on-one conversation with Dr. Johnson, please go to cancerlegalcare.org/the-cookout/ for more information or contact Dr. Johnson directly at TheCookOut@estellalucia.com.
