On Septmeber 12, 2017 ACS CAN Lead Ambassadors were in Washington, DC to urge Congresswoman Holmes-Norton to assist us with three key issues:
1. Increase Cancer Research Funding for prevention, early detection and treatment.
2. Pass the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act
3. Remove the barriers for colorectal cancer screening for Medicare Patients.

After months of delay and hard negotiations, Congress has finally passed a funding bill! The bill includes a small increase for cancer research and prevention programs.
