This summit, co-hosted by Wellness House and the University of Illinois Cancer Center, aims to unite Chicago area cancer health equity leaders across institutions to share new findings on the origin of cancer health disparities and collectively shine a light on innovative solutions to address inequities in cancer care.  We proudly present Keynote Speaker Otis W. Brawley, MD, MACP, FRCP(L), FASCO, FACE, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Oncology and Epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University and other expert speakers in the field of cancer health equity.

As a radiation oncologist at Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, Arpi Thukral often struggled to help her cancer patients find psycho-social support, exercise programs and nutrition resources. “That’s when I first had found out about Wellness House,” she said. Thukral is serving as co-chair of this year’s Walk for Wellness House on Sunday, May 5.

She also participated in her first walk the year after she lost her uncle to leukemia.
