Cancer Disparities

For Community

Faith-Based Initiatives

Faith-Based Resources

 

The Faces of Faith: Celebrating Cancer Survivorship exhibit tells the stories of 19 cancer survivors from the community who have volunteered to have their stories told through photographs. The DF/HCC Initiative to Eliminate Cancer Disparities, in collaboration with The Faith Based Cancer Disparities Network, has launched this exciting new initiative to recognize individuals leading full, vibrant lives after a cancer diagnosis. The exhibit will be on display at Dorchester’s Erick Jean Center for the Arts throughout the month of June, and a community reception will be held on June 27, 2013 to commemorate the initiative. View the event press release for details. Are you interested in hosting this exhibit? Please contact Karen Burns White at iecd@partners.org

Bible Bookmark, created in collaboration with the IECD's Faith Based Initiative, is a collection of factual statements, or truths, about cancer. The bookmark is printed on a colorful 3x7 card meant to slip easily in to a Bible or other book. The truths are powerful factual statements that both dispel common myths associated with cancer and promote prevention by encouraging healthy living and early testing for cancer.


The Resource Toolkit is a compendium of resources on cancer and was created to help church health ministries develop additional programs and activities on cancer-related topics.

The bulletin inserts were created for distribution within church bulletins at Sunday services, but can be utilized in other ways.
