Exciting news from The Sheri and Les Biller Family Foundation!  Today marks a pivotal moment in our work to expand early, equitable, whole-person supportive cancer care for everyone living with cancer. I’m thrilled to share the launch of the Together for Supportive Cancer Care coalition, an initiative that brings together over 40 organizations to make whole-person supportive care the national standard.  As both a member and convener of this new national coalition, the foundation is committed to working with our Together for Supportive Cancer Care partners to drive equitable systems change. We look forward to learning from and collaborating with the incredible group of experts who make up this coalition. At the Foundation, we believe that every person with cancer deserves care that meets not just their clinical needs, but their emotional, physical, and social needs as well. We also recognize that access to care for BIPOC communities needs to be central to our strategies. The coalition is a powerful step toward making this vision a reality.  I invite you to read more about the coalition and how it’s working to transform cancer care across the country. Together, we can drive the change that ensures all patients, caregivers, and families receive the care they deserve. 🔗 Learn more about the Coalition launch here: https://bit.ly/47JVltz   #SupportiveCancerCare #HealthEquity #SupportiveCareForAll #PatientCare 

Supportive cancer care transforms lives! That’s why we’ve joined Together for Supportive Cancer Care coalition. We are committed to establishing a new standard in cancer treatment that addresses physical, emotional, and economic needs.
