American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network Rhode Island

ACS CAN is the nation’s leading advocate for public policies that are helping to defeat cancer. The organization ensures that cancer patients, survivors, and their families have a voice in public policy matters at all levels of government.

Defeating cancer is as much a matter of public policy as scientific discovery. Lawmakers play a critical role in determining how much progress our country makes toward defeating cancer. ACS CAN gives a voice to those impacted by the disease as they encourage lawmakers at all levels of government to join the fight to make cancer a national priority.
