Empowered Health Inspiration Webinar

We hope you enjoy the conversation!


On Tuesday, April 13, 2021 the CDC Foundation and global design firm, IDEO, launched the Empowered Health Cancer-Free Challenge to fundamentally change how we prioritize and communicate cancer prevention and care. By May 4, we seek your bold solutions to:

How might we empower one another,
to prevent, treat, and beat cancer?

From actual cancer survivors, patients, and caregivers, as well as experts in advocacy, digital health, health equity, and behavior change—find deep empathy and expertise. Learn from diverse perspectives on living with, surviving, and caring for people with cancer. Submit your questions below in advance, and we'll answer them as best possible.

The Challenge will award $5,000 to each of 5 Top Idea Winners, as either a cash prize or a donation to a U.S. based health or cancer-fighting organization. Your Top Idea could be publicly featured on the EmPOWERed Health platform and considered for implementation by the CDC Foundation.
