The Missing Pink Breast Cancer Alliance connects change agents to improve the lives of people of color affected by breast cancer. Oct. 1, 2022, we will open for inaugural alliance membership and we couldn’t be more excited for the work ahead.
At The Missing Pink, we harness the power of patient advocacy and support, and innovation through collaboration to eliminate barriers to quality healthcare, increase patient advocacy, and improve quality of life. We work across cultures, industries and disciplines to enhance the ability of every stakeholder to pursue health equity for people of color affected by breast cancer.
Where We’re Starting
- ONLINE COMMUNITY – We’re providing a social network that features a member directory, community calendar, opportunity board and groups to help patient advocates, providers, nonprofits and all breast cancer community stakeholders, build relationships, share their work and explore new opportunities to collaborate.
- INTENTIONALLY DIVERSE WORKSTREAMS – We’re creating workstreams to move community stakeholders from the awareness of data from research studies to using the data as the foundation for new tools, resources and calls-to-action.
- ADVOCATING FOR ADVOCATES – We’re partnering to develop free, online, self-paced trainings to increase the participation of advocates of color affected by breast cancer and allies in the pursuit of health equity.
- COMMUNITY CONTENT CURATION – We’re gathering educational and inspiring content for patients of color and the people who care for them from across the breast cancer community to provide resources for support and self-fulfillment.
- …and more to come.
