Rob Winn: Fighting for Better Access to Genetic Testing

Rob Winn, Director and Lipman Chair in Oncology at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center and a professor at VCU School of Medicine, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Fighting for Better Access to Genetic Testing.

Did you know that Medicare doesn’t cover genetic testing unless you already have cancer?

Fortunately, the Association of American Cancer Institutes (AACI) is advocating for change!

AACI has joined over 110 organizations to support the Reducing Hereditary Cancer Act, which aims to expand Medicare coverage for genetic testing—helping more people detect cancer before it starts.

Join the movement!

Share this post to spread awareness and support policies that improve access to genetic counseling and testing.”
