UICC’s three-year "United by Unique" emphasizes the need for a people-centered approach in cancer care delivery and recognizing each individual's unique experiences.

AOSW is proud to celebrate 100 years of Black History Month. We honor Black social workers like Dr. Dorothy Height, whose leadership helped shape the path forward for our profession and our communities.

Dr. Height dedicated her life to advancing racial and gender equality, education, and economic empowerment, working alongside leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Eleanor Roosevelt.

This month, we reflect on the legacy of those who paved the way—and recommit ourselves to carrying it forward.

Today, AOSW honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He reminded us that “of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhumane.”

In oncology social work, we carry this legacy forward by advocating for equitable access to care, dignity in treatment, and compassionate support for every patient and family.

Today, we recommit ourselves to advancing equity and justice in healthcare.
