The award recognizes her work in breaking down language barriers around the world by creating Spanish-language educational content about lung cancer for patients and caregivers. As a physician and a Latina, Rodriguez, a bilingual thoracic oncologist at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, has seen firsthand the ways that language barriers often prevent Spanish-speaking patients from receiving optimal care.
