Our first CPAN patient advocacy was held in Puyallup last week, and we had an amazing turnout. This is a stepping stone toward involving our patients in the care process at a deeper level than ever before, and we are excited to walk through this journey together.
CPAN is a nationally recognized patient advocacy group that gives patients, survivors, and others a vital voice in both sharing their experiences and advocating for their community cancer care. There are active CPAN chapters across the country, and advocates are regularly in Washington, D.C. talking to members of Congress and federal policymakers about the importance of community oncology, where the majority of Americans with cancer receive their care.
