About this Event

Join the Leesburg Public Library and the Moffitt Cancer Center for an empowering conversation about the future of community health. This "Lunch and Learn" session goes beyond a standard presentation to provide a space for a real, two-way dialogue between health advocates and our residents.

Have you ever wondered if the latest medical discoveries are made with your community in mind? We invite you to ask the questions you’ve always wanted to ask and share what is important to you and your family.

During this session, we will discuss:

  • What are cancer clinical trials? Learn the basics and how they work.
  • Myths and Facts: Separating truth from fiction in cancer research.
  • Building Trust: Addressing historical mistrust in the healthcare system and how to move forward.
  • Community Advocacy: Discover ways to be a powerful voice for your community's health.

Come explore how we can work together to ensure that new ways to prevent, find, and treat disease truly benefit everyone.

Register here.
