Shanthi Sivendran, Senior Vice President Cancer Care Support at American Cancer Society and Clinical Associate Professor at Oncology at Penn Medicine, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“We were honored to welcome Dr. Jill Biden, former First Lady of the United States, to this week’s American Cancer Society National Breast Cancer Roundtable and American Cancer Society National Navigation Roundtable membership meetings, where she led an energizing conversation with Arif Kamal MD, MBA, MHS, Tracy Battaglia, and Julie McMahon on advancing patient navigation in cancer care.
Through the Biden Cancer Initiative and the Biden Cancer Moonshot, Dr. Biden and President Biden championed patient navigation as a cornerstone of quality cancer care, catalyzing collective action to establish standards of practice and advance the pathway toward reimbursement. Building on this foundation, the ACS National Roundtables and ACS Leadership in Oncology Navigation program continue to lead the way; convening leaders, advocating for workforce development and training, and championing equity to expand access to patient navigation nationwide.
Together with our partners, the American Cancer Society is committed to carrying forward the spark of collaboration Dr. Biden helped ignite – because no one should face cancer alone.”
