Last week we had the opportunity to stop by @JerryMoran’s Hays office & drop off info about our work at @ACSCAN. Thank you to Senator Moran for his ongoing support of cancer research funding, which helps support some of the critical research happening right here in our state.

An alarming trend is surfacing: the re-glamorization of tobacco use, driven by the tobacco industry.
Research shows that media exposure to smoking imagery among young people makes them more likely to start using tobacco products like cigarettes and e-cigarettes.

.@CMSGov's rule on #Medicaid work requirements makes it more difficult for people who are medically frail, including #CancerPatients, to be exempt. This adds a burdensome process and risks the loss of health insurance coverage—a matter of life or death. fightcancer.org/releases/new…

It was a wonderful day at The University of Kansas Cancer Center Advocacy Day at the Capitol as we all came together to advocate for our patients and express gratitude for past victories! 🎉 It was also fantastic to witness the collaboration with American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network and Susan G. Komen Advocacy. Coalition building and working together towards common goals is so imperative when advocating for access to care! #Gratitude

This week, the KS Senate will hold hearings on a bill that would create additional burdens & red tape for Kansans trying to access programs like Medicaid. Tell lawmakers how this would impact Kansans facing cancer. act.fightcancer.org/a/urge-l…

Congress just passed the most impactful cancer-fighting bill in years, thanks to advocates like you!
Your advocacy made a difference. This bill means more people can be screened for #cancer earlier, get treatment sooner, and have a better chance to survive & thrive. Thank you ❤️

The House is expected to vote on a spending bill this week that brings us closer to new treatments, earlier detection & more lives saved from cancer. But only if lawmakers follow through.
Send a message to your lawmaker now urging them to pass this bill ⬇️act.fightcancer.org/a/urge-y…
