The Cancer Patient Bill of Rights comprises two vital components: the Black Women’s Cancer Patient Bill of Rights and the Black Women-Centered Healing Commitment for Cancer Care Providers.

These elements aim to inform Black women about their expectations when navigating the cancer care system in the District of Columbia and to educate healthcare providers about delivering appropriate care to Black women living East of the River.

The Black Women Centered Healing Commitment for Cancer Care Providers embodies best practices across the cancer care continuum, setting a standard for care in the District. Additionally, the Black Women’s Cancer Patient Bill of Rights serves as a valuable resource for patients to advocate for themselves if they feel these best practices are not being upheld.
