We apply the latest science to create, test, and scale solutions to address the most intractable problems in cancer care delivery.
Our Initiatives
We employ a health equity lens across our work, examining and addressing socioeconomic, racial, and ethnic disparities and other systemic barriers to accessing high quality, patient-centered healthcare.
To facilitate more equitable cancer care delivery, PC3I Faculty Anna Jo Smith led a pilot study that connects patients with gynecologic cancer who have transportation needs to a ride sharing service, called RideHealth.
