American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network - ACS CAN Oregon

American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network - ACS CAN Oregon Welcome to the page for ACS CAN Oregon. ACS CAN supports evidence-based policy and legislative solutions designed to eliminate cancer.

We will be posting advocacy updates, suggestions how to promote ACS CAN, and upcoming events in Oregon. American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) is the nation’s leading cancer advocacy organization that is working every day to make cancer issues a national priority. Many of the most important decisions about cancer are made outside of your doctor’s office. Instead, they are made by

your state legislature, in Congress and in the White House. ACS CAN empowers regular people to be part of the growing national movement that is fighting back against cancer. ACS CAN, the nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy affiliate of the American Cancer Society, is holding lawmakers accountable for their words and their actions. We demand that our leaders not only talk about fighting cancer but take real steps toward decreasing the number of people suffering and dying from cancer.

Update: The House passed the EARLY Act Reauthorization this week!

This important legislation supports CDC programs and services aimed at increasing awareness of breast cancer among young women, particularly those at higher risk. The bill also includes the SCREENS for Cancer Act, which helps ensure women have access to breast and cervical cancer screening, diagnostic, and treatment services.

Thank you to Rep. Miller-Meeks, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor, Rep. Debbie Dingell, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, Rep. Diana Harshbarger, and Congressman Joe Morelle for championing this effort, and to the House of Representatives for advancing this bill.

Enacting this bipartisan legislation could have a critical impact on saving more women’s lives from breast cancer and improving their survivorship. We call on both chambers of Congress to work together and get this important legislation across the finish line.
