The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) believes everyone should have a fair and just opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer and that where you live should not determine if you live. As part of our Cancer Votes campaign, we asked the St. Louis Board of Aldermen candidates the following question:
Given that the social determinants of health (i.e., housing, access to healthy food, socioeconomic class) are some of the root causes in cancer disparities in St. Louis City, how would you utilize your position as Alderperson to effect change and reduce the cancer disparities in St. Louis City?
