Language Access: Understanding Your Rights

Getting a cancer diagnosis can be scary, especially if you don’t speak the same language as your healthcare team. But everyone deserves good care, and there are resources to help you understand your options in any language.

Join us for a special talk about patient rights, language access, and how to speak up to make healthcare better for everyone.

We’ll hear from two experts:

  • Dr. Lisa Diamond is a doctor and researcher at Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) in the Immigrant Health and Cancer Disparities Service. She studies how speaking the same language as your doctor can help you understand care options and improve your medical treatment. Her work helps to make healthcare more welcoming for people from different cultures.
  • Sandra Morales is a breast cancer survivor and patient navigator. She will share her story as a patient and her work helping others find their way in the healthcare system.

This talk will be offered in Spanish and English.
