Douglas Flora: Some easy steps to get involved in fighting cancer
Quoting Douglas Flora’s post on LinkedIn:
“So many great people are dedicated to eradicating cancer, across so many industries. To make real progress, it’s going to take our collective talents, creativity, and a willingness to think outside the box (occasionally).
2.1 million cancer patients will be diagnosed here this year, and they don’t have time for politics, nihilism, or small thinking. It’s too late to save Daniel Flora MD, PharmD, or Dave Flora’s mom,
Same for David Penberthy and Scott Penberthy. We must do better.
My call to action as so many of us are thinking about moms lost: take a step today to get involved, and do what you can to help us get there. That means ACTIVELY supporting more advocacy, research, screening and prevention, anywhere you can. Solid progress is being made, but so much left to do. Fighting cancer is a team sport.
Some easy steps:
Join American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN):
Engage with Association of Cancer Care Centers:
Please add any organizations you think we should be following or supporting that are near and dear to you in the comments below.”
