Community Oncology Alliance – COA shared Patients + Providers United’s post on LinkedIn, adding:
“Cancer care that is close to home and high-quality cancer care are not mutually exclusive.
COA President Debra Patt and other independent community oncology practices bring the latest treatments to locations that are convenient for patients. Unfortunately, misguided policies can affect the availability of this care.
Bills like the Protecting Patient Access to Cancer and Complex Therapies Act ensure practices have the resources they need to provide sustainable care for the patients that depend on them.”
Patients + Providers United shared:
“Patients shouldn’t have to choose between high-quality cancer care and staying close to home.
Community-based oncology clinics help patients access essential treatment while remaining connected to their families, careers, and communities. Care delivered locally can also reduce travel burdens, support treatment adherence, and help patients maintain greater stability throughout treatment.
In this video, Debra Patt with Texas Oncology shares what community-based cancer care makes possible for patients and why protecting that access matters.
