Alliance meets with leaders on Capitol Hill

Representatives from the Colorectal Cancer Alliance met with congressional officials on Capitol Hill this week to gain support for colorectal cancer (CRC) research, urging immediate action to address the devastating toll of CRC on Americans.
The meetings are part of a broader government advocacy initiative by the Alliance to address the growing prevalence of CRC and improve patient care, advance research, and break down regulatory barriers that limit access to life-saving treatments.
The efforts of the Alliance will focus on the importance of CRC funding and regulatory reform with these key priorities:
The Alliance is committed to ensuring that colorectal cancer remains a national priority. By advocating for increased funding, regulatory improvements, and access to innovative treatments, we can save lives and improve patient outcomes. Now is the time for policymakers to act.
Majority of Americans say they don’t have time for colorectal cancer screening, prioritizing household chores instead of health.
A common method for educating a new administration about an organization’s cause — and sharing how the president can improve the situation for the American people — is through a document called a transition memo.
House Republicans are debating significant cuts to Medicaid, risking coverage for millions of Americans, including seniors and low-income individuals.
