B-HAVE™ (Breast Health Advocate Voices for Equity) brought to you by Touch4LIfe® and Cardea Services
The B-HAVE™ program co-created by Touch4Life® and Cardea, is designed to engage, educate, and empower a cohort of BIPOC health advocates in select states to effectively advocate for patient-friendly and equitable breast-health policies and legislation. The program trains advocates of color who have been impacted by breast cancer or are allies of breast cancer survivors.
Through a skills-building series, taught by experts, B-HAVE training cohort participants will be provided a unique experience to effectively use and center lived or adjacent experiences to effectively promote breast health education and awareness, and learn how to effectively encourage state-level patient-friendly and equitable breast-health policies and legislation including biomarker and genetic testing legislation
