The Office for Community Outreach and Engagement (COE) is the bridge between our local community and Stony Brook Cancer Center. Our primary goal is to reduce the cancer burden and disparities in our local community of Suffolk and Nassau counties.
Our office recognizes the role of systemic inequalities and discrimination, as well as barriers to care and socioeconomic disparities that lead to an increased cancer burden in the LGBTQ* community. Reducing cancer disparities in the LGBTQ* community is an essential part of our work. We aim to achieve this through engagement with the LGBTQ* community, which in turn informs our cancer surveillance, prevention, education, screening, community engagement, and research catalyzation.
