You Can Make A Difference!
Policymakers, both local and national, make decisions every day that directly influence the treatment of cancer patients and the research that drives this treatment. Oncologists are uniquely qualified to communicate with Congress and the Administration about effective policies for providing the best quality care to cancer patients. Establishing relationships with Members of Congress is the first step in influencing the dialogue, and is easier than you think!
