Keeping You Informed

Cancer prevention can begin with your diet, according to an oncology dietitian.

The Community Oncology Alliance (COA) is aligned with keeping patient care in the hands of the community pharmacies and practices, and it is important that these organizations stick together to achieve the best quality of care, says Judith Alberto, MHA, RPh, BCOP, director of clinical initiatives, COA.

Another headache for patients of Steward Health Care. Cancer patients now must go elsewhere for treatment, after their clinic suddenly shut down.

Transgender people with cancer navigate a health care system not designed to meet their needs, which can profoundly affect their health. In a 2020 survey, 40% of transgender respondents had postponed or avoided recommended screenings due to discriminatory experiences.

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.

44 CPAN Chapter Educational Events • 12 CPAN Community Events • 24 CPAN Media Opportunities • 9 Patient Advocacy Meetings - ASCO • 9 National Advocacy Events • 7 CPAN Chapter Launch Events • 23 CPAN Advocacy Chapters
