the home you've always dreamed of is a blue bag away shop. >> new lower prices at ikea >> there's an issue affecting many children that i can't solve alone. it's called toxic stress. it's how a child's body responds to difficult experiences from harsh language to a painful loss . it builds up inside, making it harder to fight off infections and illness and increasing the risk for lasting health issues. but there are steps parents can take to help learn four things you can do to overcome toxic stress. at first. five california.com. a key building a better bay area is highlighting the efforts to make it happen. >> and the example we have for you this morning is centered at the latinas contra cancer center in santa clara county. it provides crucial bilingual and bicultural support to people
9:38 am
facing cancer, especially in the latino community. joining me now is darcy green, the executive director. darcy, great to have you with us now. >> it's really great to be here. thank you for having us. >> a key message your organization shares is ensuring no one battles cancer alone. can you walk us through the support your team offers? >> our organization has been around for 20 years and in this time we have offered health, education, patient navigation and support. survivor services like support groups, financial assistance. and we recently started offering health advocate training and patient organizing services. >> it's all great. and, you know , i want to talk more about the impact, too. we all know preventative care, like routine cancer screenings, are crucial to staying healthy. how many early detections have happened as a result of your work across the county? >> we know that we've educated over five, five, 5000 or so people throughout the time that we've been doing this work and
9:39 am
countless early detections in partnership with our partners in cancer centers and medical social workers. and we know, particularly for the latino community, early detection is so key. our community detects cancer late and that causes unnecessary deaths, unnecessary added injury. and if we can do what we what we can do to prevent late detection, that's a big part of preventing health disparity in the latino community. we focus a lot of our effort on. >> yeah, and to add to that, as we see across the bay area under representative communities are at increased risk of developing or dying from breast cancer. for how is training becoming a part of treatment across the state when patients feel powerful and patients are powerful in their interactions with their health care providers, we see better health outcomes across the cancer continuum. >> so it's very important that patients are educated about what their rights are with regard to their care, that they're educated about what's offered in
9:40 am
their care plan, and that they're educated about the type of treatment they're having. and what they need to do to make the most of that treatment. and we see this across the state happening with increased funding for patient navigation. patient advocates, promotoras and really making sure that grass root community organizations are at the forefront of helping to eliminate health disparities around cancer. and the latino community. >> now, cancer does affect everyone differently, of course. and aside from the emotional and physical toll, it's traumatizing to lose your hair. can you tell us about your wig boutique and how it's helping people deal with that? >> we offer here a wig and prostheses boutique. it's a wonderful space. everything is at no cost to the community. see the wonderful person that we have who's staffing it is a former client of our organization as well. and folks can come in here to our prostheses boutique, be waited on, know that there is nothing we would rather do than serve them in that moment and receive mastectomy, garments, wigs and fittings in this space all at no cost, all in english and in
9:41 am
spanish. and in a way that really honors and respects our culture and the cancer journeys that we go through. >> it's great to see that. and we have some pictures also running from your facility for leicester city based gilead sciences has awarded $7.6 million in grants to various organizations, including yours. how are you using that money to serve patients in need? >> i have to say we cannot do this work without the generous donations of institutions and organizations like gilead. gilead is funding. so many of our programs across our organization in including the wig and prostheses boutique and making sure that we can be there for cancer patients when they need us. at the time they need us the most. they're also funding our patient outreach programs and the work that we do in patient navigation and patient advocacy. they're funding our health, education, work in the community that helps to dispel myths and get important information out about cancer in english and in spanish. and they've also been
9:42 am
funding our work to make a more powerful, educated patient population that can effectively advocate for themselves around issues of cancer and cancer, health access. >> well, looking at a broader perspective now, the president and first lady's cancer moonshot initiative have set a goal to reduce cancer mortality by at least 50% over the next 25 years. from your perspective, how far along do you think we are in that process? what i can speak to is how far we have to go around the issue of health access in order to make sure that everybody has access to cancer treatment and to an eventual cure. >> when we find one to all of the medical interventions and research based interventions that we know are out there currently and will be out there in the future, what we know now is that there are disparate, fortunately, some patient populations. who do not have access at the very basic level to health care, to treatment, to detection, to survivorship
9:43 am
support. and so we are a ways from making sure that everybody has equal access or equitable access to care, regard less of their ethnicity, race, zip code language, all of the other things that come into play when we think about identity. but we're very hopeful, particularly because the president has made this such a priority for his administration. we have recently participated as well, and one of the panels that he had around technology and patient advocacy tsay and so we're very hopeful that as a country and as a community here in santa clara county, that we can and will do what we need to do to make sure that we implement policies and assign resources to improve health equity and make sure people have access at that basic level. so when we eventually do find a cure, we are actually improving health equity and not deepening it. >> well, we look forward to seeing more of your work. appreciate your time, darcy. thanks for being with us. >> thank you so much. >> absolutely. well tomorrow,
