Kansas Cancer Policy Forum: Cancer Prevention and Treatment in Rural Kansas

This October, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) will host the third annual ACS CAN Kansas Cancer Policy Forum, a premiere event that brings together key leaders and decision makers in business, education, medical research, cancer care, government, and health policy. This event not only helps unite those in Kansas who are fighting to end cancer, but serves to empower ACS CAN, and its work to ensure that elected officials across the country make cancer a top priority. This year’s forum is dedicated to educating patients, providers and the public about the unique challenges of access to care for cancer treatment in rural Kansas.

Rural states like Kansas face unique challenges related to health policy issues including cancer prevention, detection and treatment. This year’s forum will bring together diverse expert perspectives including cancer patients and survivors, health care providers, hospital administrators and policymakers to explore these challenges and related policy opportunities. ACS CAN is working in every state and in Congress to advance proven policies related to cancer prevention, treatment and survivorship.
