Telehealth: A Lifeline for Rural Cancer Patients.
As oncology leaders, we’ve witnessed how telehealth has revolutionized care for rural communities.
It bridges the gap between local providers and specialized cancer experts, allowing patients to receive lifesaving care close to home.
In our opinion piece, we call on Congress to enact permanent telehealth policies before the current flexibilities expire in March 2025. Without action, rural patients face a devastating loss of access to essential cancer care.
Every cancer patient deserves consistent, high-quality care—no matter where they live.
We invite oncologists, healthcare professionals, and patient advocates to join us in amplifying this critical message.
