ACS CAN Rhode Island

“According to the American Cancer Society, the incidence rates of colorectal cancer dropped by 1% every year from 2013 until 2022, but that trend was mostly in older adults. For people younger than 50, however, rates have increased by 2.9% every year in the same time frame.”

Thank you, @danielgeldredge, for the great story on copay accumulators, why they are harmful to patients in Ohio and for sharing @DrAliqueSays's story. @toledonews

Proud to stand with @SenJackReed & @SenWhitehouse & the Protect Our Healthcare Coalition to call for the reinstatement of Enhanced Premium Tax Credits under the ACA, following House passage last week. It’s time to make premiums more affordable and save our healthcare! @ACSCAN

Cancer research saves lives, and the fight against cancer can't wait. @SenWhitehouse , please pass a full-year spending bill NOW to protect and increase funding for lifesaving cancer research and prevention. Advocates with @acscan need you to #ProtectCancerCures.

We're helping @acscan support lifesaving cancer research and prevention funding for cancer patients, survivors, and families. @SenJackReed, we need your help to pass a full-year spending bill that does this. Time is running out to #ProtectCancerCures.

We are attending the annual breakfast ⁦@ACSCANRI⁩ They are working so hard to find answers and cures!

Speaker @JoeShekarchi, @MiaForRep, and @tanzister attended this morning's @ACSCANRI Research Breakfast. This year's event focused on breast cancer, the most common cancer in women in the United States, and which accounts for about 1 in 3 of all new female cancers each year. Throughout the event, ACS CAN highlighted research happening in the Ocean State, discussed existing gaps in screening and care, and debated policy solutions to ease the burden of breast cancer for Rhode Islanders.
