Immigrant patients can hear relevant care information in languages and dialects that they can easily understand. Curated patient education materials can be shared across national boundaries for speakers of the same language. Patients are empowered to better communicate about the diseases even if their doctors do not speak their languages. OUR STORY HEAR2CARE As an Asian American cancer patient advocate at ASCO, Dr. Zhang raised concerns on the scarce voices of immigrants in the health equity landscape. Interviews with doctors and patients identified the issue for delivering care to immigrant cancer patients: more than 46 million foreign-born people in US speaks many different native languages and dialects that may hinder our access to care, as 21 million of immigrants speak English less than "very well" in 2022. Building on our personal experiences and access to global health resources, we launched this initiative to produce education materials that can be heard. We will start with languages and dialects spoken by numerous immigrants (Vietnamese, Hindi, Tagalog, Dravidian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, Fuchow, Hokkien, French, Portuguese, Russian, Thai, Burmese) and expand to other languages as identified by the ACS data from US census published in 2015. Let us work together！ OUR TEAM DR.
