In 2023, COA’s Patient Advocacy Network (CPAN) provided advocacy, education, and engagement opportunities in multiple ways.

While the new year is always filled with energy and enthusiasm, it is also important to reflect on the impact of our advocacy accomplishments in 2022.

The word support embodied 2021 for CPAN. Represents The Patient Voice at the COA Conference, Supported our National Initiatives, Kept Chapters Active During COVID, New Practice Members, Advocacy Summit, Monthly News Bulletins and Shined the Light on 11 Different Cancer Centers, Nationally Recognized Speakers and Advocacy/Oncology Education to our Audience, Customized Educational Resources, Supported Our Corporate Members Advocacy Initiatives and more.

2020 was filled with many challenges for patients, survivors and providers. Yet, despite these challenges a bright light remained - interest and dedication to advocacy.

As 2019 comes to a close, we would like to thank everyone for your contributions to a successful year. This year, CPAN held over 60 educational/advocacy events across the U.S. CPAN advocates delivered our message (the value of community oncology) on Capitol Hill, at community & practice based events, in various media outlets and by sharing their experiences as cancer patients & survivors in patient advisory roles.
