This week, Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis announced updates to Florida Cancer Connect, the state’s centralized website providing tools for individuals and families battling cancer.
Updates include a fully translated Spanish website and testimonials from Hispanic cancer survivors, recorded and produced in both Spanish and English, premiering over the next month. Existing English survivor testimonials will have Spanish subtitles available.
“Florida Cancer Connect is an extension of our longstanding commitment to all Floridians impacted by cancer,” said First Lady DeSantis. “Our goal is to make cancer resources user-friendly, which is why I’m excited to announce the addition of readily available Spanish resources to increase the accessibility of support to those in the cancer fight looking for help and hope.”
Launched last month, Florida Cancer Connect is an initiative from the first lady that provides information on cancer treatment, caregiver tools and stories from brave Floridians who have fought this disease on one centralized website. The Florida Cancer Connect website updates include:
• Full Spanish translation of the website
• Hispanic survivor stories in both English and Spanish
• Spanish subtitles on existing survivor videos
Florida is second in the nation for newly diagnosed cancer cases.
