Chuck Stravin’s, Patient Advocate-Volunteer at American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN), shared a post on X:

“Honored to stand with Governor Maura Healey, Toni Choueiri and other members of Dana Farber
team today, as Massachusetts announced major prior authorization reforms.

For cancer patients, delays aren’t paperwork. They’re fear, uncertainty, and time.

These changes will help patients across Masachusetts access critical care faster and with fewer barriers.

Progress matters. Patients matter. Thank you Governor Maura Healey for putting patients first.”
