Discussion Points: 

Discovery. Advancements in medical research have unleashed new and improved therapies that are revolutionizing cancer care, but what does the future hold for federal investment in medical research? Is the discovery pipeline growing to meet the demand of rising cancer rates?

Access.  Despite more people being covered, the health care landscape is unsettled. From D.C. to the statehouse, what's the next move for policymakers and how will it affect access to care? 

Prevention. With more than forty percent of cancer cases linked to modifiable risk factors, what policy strategies can help us prioritize prevention and create a culture of health in Indiana?
