Podcasts about American Cancer Society

A seasoned grant writer pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to fund an Indiana‑sized breast care service area with five pink mobile coaches and thousands of uninsured women. In this episode, Anna Caballero explains how she matches The Rose’s mission with state programs, foundations, and local donors, why rural counties and maintenance funds matter as much as screening dollars, and how her own mother’s late‑stage breast cancer diagnosis shaped her passion for access and self‑advocacy. She shares how today’s funders expect data, outcomes, and systems change, and why she still believes every mammogram sits inside a much bigger story of community health, navigation, and follow‑up.

What does Anna’s role on The Rose’s development team involve, and how does she use writing to bring in funding? 2. How does the grant application process actually work, from simple email forms to complex portals and site visits? 3. What kinds of entities fund The Rose, and how do state, local, and foundation dollars fit together? 4. How does the Breast and Cervical Cancer Services Program combine state and CDC funds, and who does it serve? 5. Why is it so important that screening and diagnostic grants also connect women to treatment through a Medicaid‑like program? 6. How large is The Rose’s 45‑county service area, and why does Anna compare it to the state of Indiana? 7. How did Anna’s years at the American Cancer Society and her mother’s late breast cancer diagnosis shape her commitment to this work? 8. What did Anna learn about self‑advocacy from watching her mother answer “I’m fine” to questions about pain and sleep? 9. How do grants like Empower Her Sponsorship and Keep Mobile support uninsured women, rural communities, and the mobile coach fleet? 10. What do modern funders expect in terms of impact, data, and systems change, and how does Anna show that their money is doing more than “just a mammogram”? Timestamped Overview 00:07 Roxann welcomes Anna and asks about her role at The Rose; Anna explains she is a development team member who writes grants to bring in funding.00:43 Anna outlines how grant applications range from simple emailed forms to complex portals, site visits, and detailed reviews of The Rose’s finances and impact.01:54 She highlights key funding, including the Breast and Cervical Cancer Services Program, which helps cover screening and diagnostics for uninsured, low‑income women and connects some to treatment.03:06 Anna explains how geography matters: The Rose’s 45‑county service area must align with foundations’ local priorities, while larger funders support broader regions.03:55 She describes partners like the Episcopal Health Foundation and frames mammography as one crucial piece of comprehensive community care, especially in areas without local imaging.05:02 Anna compares The Rose’s 45‑county footprint to the landmass of Indiana and notes it serves more than nine million people across rural and metropolitan areas with high uninsured rates.05:57 She shares that her first job was with the American Cancer Society, where she spent twenty years and discovered a passion for making even small differences in public health.07:00 Anna recalls taking her mother for a free voucher mammogram, later finding out her mother did not return and was eventually diagnosed with aggressive, late‑stage breast cancer.08:44 Watching her mother’s treatment taught Anna how vital self‑advocacy is and how often women minimize pain or symptoms to “be polite,” reinforcing her belief that someone must speak up in the exam room.11:05 She says those habits still show up today, especially for young or uninsured women, and underscores why The Rose’s mission is to offer equal access regardless of insurance status.12:44 Anna explains how she first encountered The Rose through a breast health collaborative years ago and later joined the staff after a former American Cancer Society colleague called about a job.13:53 She describes the Empower Her Sponsorship Program, which uses grant dollars to cover the full continuum of breast care for uninsured women, from screening through diagnostic resolution.14:35 Anna talks about the importance of “Keep Mobile”–type funds that maintain the five pink coaches, noting that a broken coach can mean losing twenty to twenty‑five screenings a day in communities with no other options.16:25 She notes that the funding climate has shifted, with partners affected by federal changes and funders increasingly focused on measurable impact and systems change.17:22 Anna explains that foundations want to see how The Rose improves access to care, not just provides mammograms, and that she must back the story with data and outcomes.18:37 To grant officers, she stresses that funding mammograms means supporting comprehensive care for women who anchor families and economies, and helping The Rose plug gaps in local health systems.19:35 Anna emphasizes that the relationship with patients does not end with a normal or abnormal mammogram; navigators connect women to treatment, primary care, and reminders for future screening.21:08 Roxann closes by thanking Anna for explaining how every dollar is stewarded; Anna credits clinic and community staff for doing the on‑the‑ground work that makes her grant writing possible.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if our obsession with “dangerous” sun is killing us?If you (recklessly) leave your urban office for lunch, you are told to yank your hat down low. If you (again, recklessly) let your kids dash into the backyard, you are told to slather them in sunscreen—or learn to live with the guilt.And yes, sun avoidance undoubtedly prevents some skin cancers, including the deadliest type, melanomaBut a recent study suggests sunlight contributes to hundreds of thousands of deaths every year in the United States alone—orders of magnitude more than the estimated 8400 annual US melanoma deaths.In this episode, we discuss evidence linking sun avoidance toalmost a million annual deaths in the US and Europe alone, exceeding the number caused by global military conflictsbreast, pancreatic, colon, and lung cancers, as well as heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroketo INCREASED risk of death in those diagnosed with sun-induced melanoma.Yes, you read that right; some melanoma deaths may be related to too little sunlight.  (But do understand that this is complex--sunlight DOES cause melanoma. Well, some melanomas....)We also discuss why supplementing with vitamin D pills fails to remedy these terrible conditions, and what a thoughtful person can do instead, while staying safe.We hope you enjoy this episode, and that it helps you enjoy the sun again--thoughtfully, of course. References and further reading:  Sunlight: Time for a Rethink?Benefits of oral Polypodium leucotomas extract in MM high risk patients (This is an ingredient in Life Extension's Shade Factor, mentioned in this episode by Dr. Gordon). Uses of Polypodium leucotomos Extract in Oncodermatology  Calzari et alInsufficient Sun Exposure Has Become a Real Public Health Problem.

In this episode of Talk of Fame, Kylie Montigney chats with Leia Hunt! Leia Hunt is a two-time childhood cancer survivor, Leia's journey began when she was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of eye cancer, at just two years old. Her fight against the disease involved 26 surgical procedures, numerous rounds of chemotherapy, and the insertion of a radioactive isotope in her left eye. Although the radiation successfully eradicated the cancer, it also left Leia blind in that eye. Despite these challenges, Leia's experiences fueled her passion to make a difference. At the age of 18, while still a senior in high school, she founded Leia's Kids, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting families facing childhood cancer. Through Leia's Kids, Leia has been able to provide financial assistance, advocacy, warrior parties, and mental health retreats for children, teens, and young adults across the nation.

Her advocacy extends beyond her non-profit work, as she collaborates with organizations such as the Eye Tumor Research Foundation, the American Cancer Society, and the We C Hope Foundation. Leia works closely with Pharmaceutical companies and actively speaks at The Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS) global conference. Furthermore, she plays an active role in advocating for pediatric cancer research and awareness at both the state and federal levels, including speaking annually at the White House for the Cancer Moonshot initiative. Leia's dedication and resilience have not only impacted countless lives but have also contributed to significant advancements in pediatric cancer legislation, ensuring that childhood cancer remains a priority in state cancer plans across the country. Leia holds a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Texas A&M University-Commerce. Her academic background in education complements her work as an advocate, educator, and author, allowing her to connect with children and young adults on a deeper level. Through her non-profit, Leia's Kids, and her various educational initiatives, she leverages her expertise to empower young minds and provide crucial support to those facing the challenges of childhood cancer.Follow Me:Instagram:@Officialkyliemontigney@TalkoffamepodFacebook:OfficialkyliemontigneyTalkoffameTwitter:@Kyliemontigney4About Me:Hi, I'm Kylie!

One of the most recognizable Cubs fans has passed away. Jim Anixter, also known as "The Pink Hat Guy" died Tuesday, June 30, at Lake Forest Hospital surrounded by his family and loved ones. His cause of death has not been released, but his family tells WBBM he died from complications following a surgery. WBBM's Mai Martinez was a longtime friend of Anixter's and talk to him a few years ago about his love of the Cubs and the meaning behind his pink hat. "I've been at every opening day since 1967 through 2019 however with the pandemic, that was messed up in 2020," recalled Anixter during a 2023 interview. Anixter was a fixture at Cubs games for nearly six decades--spending much of that time sitting right behind home plate in his signature pink hat. It's a tradition that started more than 30 years ago. "1990 the All-Star game was at Wrigley Field so I wore a pink hat and then my cousin said why don't you make a hat called 'The Pink Hat Guy,'" he explained. Anixter, who was also a successful businessman did just that--even getting a trademark for the name and the hats which he would give away with a simple request--a donation to the American Cancer Society. "The best thing about The Pink Hat Guy" though is that I'm trying to make people aware of how bad cancer is. I'm trying in my own way to make a cure for cancer," he explained. Because as Jim's family and friends will tell you he loved helping others just as much as he loved the Cubs. Anixter's funeral service will be livestreamed on the Shalom Memorial Funeral Home website at 1pm on Friday, July 3, 2026. In lieu of flowers, and in keeping with the tradition of Jim's Pink Hat, his family is asking that memorial donations be made to the American Cancer Society

Advisors spend years earning credentials and almost no time showing people who they actually are. Wade Shields thinks that is the whole problem. Wade came to Elite Consulting Partners after ten years in New York City making documentary and branded content for Google, Ernst and Young and the American Cancer Society. The process he used there and the one he uses now starts the same way: figure out what the real story is before you make anything. He calls it brand forensics and it is the foundation every advisor skips. The first half of the episode is about what average advisor marketing actually looks like and why it is not working. Market updates getting two likes. Broker-dealer content no one asked for. A wall of certifications that tells someone where your niche is but nothing about who you are. Wade lays out why 96% of prospects are doing their own research before making contact and what happens to referrals when what they find looks exactly like what everyone else is putting out. The question Brian puts on the table is worth sitting with: it is not just how many referrals you are getting, it is how many referrals quietly walked away. The second half gets practical. Video outperforms every other content format seven to one and the barrier has nothing to do with equipment. When advisors sit down to record alone they focus on themselves and the result is stiff, flat content that misses the mark. Wade uses an interview approach on every production day to replicate the natural conversation an advisor already has with clients. The story of the teleprompter client is the best illustration: scripted and polished, no emotion, went nowhere. Unscripted and honest, clients are still quoting it back. The episode closes on the definition that ties everything together. Your brand is not about you. It is about how people feel when they work with you. Marketing is the assets built from that and where they go. And none of it works unless an advisor is willing to stand for something and put it out into the world. That is what Wade means when he says marketing is being brave.   Questions answered in this episode include: Why are advisors who post credentials and market updates getting two likes and no calls? What is brand forensics and why does it have to happen before anything else gets made? Why do 96% of prospects research an advisor online before they ever reach out? How does video outperform every other content format seven to one? Why do advisors freeze up in front of a camera when they are perfectly comfortable in a client meeting? What happened when a client showed up to a production day with a teleprompter and what changed when the script went away? What is the real difference between branding and marketing and which one has to come first?   Chapters: 00:00:52 — Introduction: Wade Shields and What Brand Forensics Actually Means 00:03:53 — What the Average Advisor Gets Wrong About Marketing 00:08:08 — The Referrals You Never Knew You Were Losing 00:08:57 — Why Video Outperforms Every Other Format 7 to 1 00:13:50 — Getting Advisors Out of Their Heads: The Interview Approach 00:17:56 — When Perfect Kills Good: The Unscripted Content Story 00:28:44 — Branding vs Marketing and the Final Takeaway   Learn more about Elite and our resources: Elite Consulting Partners | Financial Advisor Transitions https://eliteconsultingpartners.com Elite Marketing Concepts | Marketing Services for Financial Advisors https://elitemarketingconcepts.com Elite Advisor Successions | Advisor Mergers and Acquisitions https://eliteadvisorsuccessions.com JEDI Database Solutions | Technology Solutions for Advisors https://jedidatabasesolutions.com Elite Wealth Management Insights Report https://eliteconsultingpartners.com/insight-report Listen to more Advisor Talk episodes https://eliteconsultingpartners.com/podcasts/

The 2nd annual charity golf tournament raised money for the American Cancer Society, Anthony showed up with 10 pounds of venison nobody would take, and somehow the conversation ended up at the Artemis 2 crew answering questions from children — all of which were about food or bodily waste. In between: how much of your charity dollar actually reaches the cause, why Mike and Jesse changed a flat tire for four kids who didn't know there was a spare in the trunk, and whether Shania Twain is famous because of talent or a lucky break. Anthony says luck. Jesse disagrees. Nobody wins.

Cancer treatment advocates are asking lawmakers to support legislation (House Bill 4339/Senate Bill 809) that would ensure insurance coverage of comprehensive biomarker testing. This legislation has passed in 23 other states so far and Massachusetts appears to be falling behind on this... The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) volunteers, including survivors and patients from across Massachusetts, gathered on Beacon Hill to meet with lawmakers as part of its annual Cancer Action Day to urge them to support proposals that address the needs of cancer patients and reduce health disparities. Marc Hymovitz with the American Cancer Society discussed the MA legislation, what it includes, how it would help cancer patients, and why there is a need for this legislation in MA.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cases of colorectal cancer in young people have risen nearly 60 percent since the early 2000s. That's according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and the National Cancer Institute. And a new study out this month by the American Cancer Society found that colorectal cancer is now the deadliest kind for those younger than 50.But this rise isn't being felt across all generations in the same way. People born around 1990 are four times more likely to develop rectal cancer than those born around 1950. And for those 65 and older, colorectal cancer rates have actually decreased.So, what's going on? And what can you do to protect yourself and your gut health?
