Providing healthcare for cancer is different than for any other disease. Cancer is now recognized not as one condition, but as multiple conditions. With genomic sequencing technology, cancer may soon be viewed as potentially hundreds of conditions. In 2021, the California State Assembly unanimously passed the Cancer Patients Bill—the first of its kind in the nation—which calls for six rights that every cancer patient in California should have. Access and equity are key components across these six rights, and this session will focus on grounded approaches to moving access and equity forward in meaningful ways. Creative solutioning includes establishing community-academic collaborations that are easily scaled and that ensure patients receive treatment in the communities where they live and developing care-focused strategies in partnership with employers. Hear patient stories, join the discussion, and return with ideas on how your cancer program or practice can work with your state legislators to improve the care of patients with cancer in your community.
