The 8th Annual ACS CAN Connecticut Policy Forum will focus on the challenges we continue to face, ensuring lung cancer screening becomes a public health priority and providing the public with safe opportunities to prevent cancer or detect it early to improve patient outcomes. Efforts to promote screening and overcome barriers for populations with low screening prevalence must be at the forefront. Participants will include diverse stakeholders in our communities – patient advocates, payors, health systems, business leaders, and lawmakers to discuss the health disparities in Connecticut and plan to bring policy change to begin to resolve these issues.
