Last Tuesday, ND volunteer, Eniola Soetan, met with @SenKevinCramer, @SenJohnHoeven, & @RepFedorchak to discuss cancer policy priorities impacting thousands at home. Thanks to our delegation for engaging directly with constituents on these lifesaving issues.

“If people lose coverage, they are always going to be able to access health care, but those individuals now become uninsured & then who covers the cost of that service?” @tblasl said. “Typically, it’s probably going to turn into bad debt.” Via @NDMonitor northdakotamonitor.com/2025/09/02/sta…

In Minot, ND @TrinityHealthND now provides advanced 3D Mammography via Genius 3D Mammography Exam: “The reason we went with the machines that we did is we had patient comfort in mind or we had our patients in mind,” said Sam Morgan, lead mammographer. kxnet.com/news/top-stori…

"Tayah Guthmiller, who’s entering middle school... this month, was presented the award by the @bismarcklarks & @MDUResources. Guthmiller has been working with Brave the Shave, a campaign that raises money for people battling cancer and their families." kxnet.com/news/local-new…

“The health center model continues to prove an effective means of overcoming barriers to health care access, including geography, income & insurance status — improving health outcomes & reducing health care system costs,” @GovArmstrong said: kxnet.com/north-dakota-n…

"CAR T-cell therapy modifies a patient's immune cells to attack cancer cells. Part of that treatment... came early on from the labs at @aldevron in Fargo, known for providing researchers the "parts" for potential cures." inforum.com/news/fargo/pio…

Cancer remains the 2nd leading cause of death in North Dakota. 11 residents are diagnosed w/cancer & 4 die from it, daily per the @hhsndgov. Officials say those #'s can be lowered through healthier lifestyle choices, increased awareness & expanded access to screenings/treatment.

“We encourage North Dakotans to reach out to their health care provider to talk about cancer screenings,” said @hhsndgov Comprehensive Cancer Control Program Director Annette Clark. “Early screening and detection save lives.” hhs.nd.gov/news/north-dak…

“At some point, someone is going to get their health coverage taken away from them” @BenjaminWHanson North Dakota Gov Rel director for the @ACSCAN said...“It’s another layer of paperwork or red tape that we hear so often is not good for business” northdakotamonitor.com/2025/08/06/off…

From @prairiepublic: Bluegrass Goes Pink organizer Jill Wiese shares the heartfelt inspiration for the vibrant, daylong event at Cross Ranch State Park that honors loved ones lost to cancer & supports the @biscancercenter: news.prairiepublic.org/podcast/main-s…

Congratulations to the @JRMCND on 90 years of service to North Dakotans! "The opening of the JRMC Cancer Center in 2019 has saved patients more than 500,000 miles in travel." jamestownsun.com/business/james…

“...to have somebody who’s actually gone through those experiences or have those life challenges during the treatment or diagnosis, or even afterwards, is always really nice to pair with somebody who’s actually been there,” said Nielsen of @SanfordHealth: kfyrtv.com/2025/07/01/dic…

North Dakota communities come together to fight cancer in innovative ways! “100% of all of our proceeds goes to research,” said Katie Schlosser. “Nobody gets paid.” thedickinsonpress.com/lifestyle/fish…

“People think when patients or their loved ones ring the bell, they’re like, yay, we’re done. But patients often say ‘I do not feel done. I am very far from done. & now this thing is hanging over me & I can’t shake it.” said Hysjulien RN at @SanfordHealth. news.sanfordhealth.org/cancer/im-canc…

"North Dakota could lose about $1.4 billion in federal Medicaid funding over 10 years, if the U.S. House version of the legislation is signed into law... Medicaid enrollment in North Dakota would be reduced by an estimated 18% by 2034." kfgo.com/2025/06/27/fed…

Fun and informative days in Bismarck, ND with the North Dakota Cancer Coalition. Appreciated the opportunity to present a summary of @ACSCAN_ND’s advocacy during the 2025 legislative session:

“Every time I go around Fargo, I get people coming up to me telling me about their experience at the cancer center. And most have so much passion for their doctor.” said Roger Maris Jr, Cancer Awareness Activist. kvrr.com/2025/06/17/rog…

Early detection saves lives! “Those preventative measures, as much as they can be an inconvenience, are so vital to catching things early and can really make the difference between life or death,” Kali Mork, director of @FargoParks Sport Center said. inforum.com/health/cancer-…
