Guest: Jason Horay, Director of Community Outreach and Engagement at the American Cancer Society.
Description: Jason Horay, of the American Cancer Society, joins us to share an inspiring new initiative focused on health equity for Indigenous communities. On November 6, 2025, the ACS will launch a virtual Health Equity Ambassador Training, led by Indigenous facilitator Celina Donahue. This program will provide participants with knowledge about cancer prevention, screening, and wellness practices rooted in culture and community, thus embodying the indigenous belief that “culture is medicine and community is healing.” Ambassadors will become equipped to drive lasting, locally guided health change across Indian Country.
