Jade Gibson’s connection to cancer presented itself at the age of 16 when she was diagnosed with late-stage ovarian cancer. The experience ignited a desire to help individuals and families affected by cancer, leading her to pursue studies at the Harold P. Freeman Patient Navigation Institute. There she received education on the newly developing field and learned how to apply the navigation model to eliminate common barriers for patients moving through the healthcare system.

To date, Ms. Gibson has entered her 19th year of survivorship – lending her voice to address disparities that plague historically marginalized AYA patients from rural communities. As a champion for cancer advocacy, she participates in interviews, virtual conferences, webinars, marketing research, and fundraising. Additionally, serving in the following capacities:

• Committee member for the Georgia Cancer Control Consortium (GC3) Survivorship Workgroup and Georgia Prostate Cancer Roundtable Steering Committees.
• Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) - Adolescent Young Adult (AYA) Advisory Panel project focusing on identifying barriers to recruiting and engaging underrepresented adolescent and young adults in cancer survivorship research.
• BVOGUE participant in the “Centering the Marginalized Voices of Black Patients with Gynecological Cancer as a First Step in Healthcare Curriculum Development,” study supported by MOQC (the Michigan Oncology Quality Consortium).
• Ovarian Cancer patient expert with Merakoi, creating healthcare solutions to benefit people living with a chronic illness.
• Citizen Scientist for the Ovarian Cancer Outreach with the “Connecting Families to Overcome Ovarian Cancer” study led by Emory University.
