Expanding Access | Cancer Cabinet Community Conversation

Watch this conversation about how as part of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy’s Cancer Moonshot Initiative, VA is taking every opportunity to expand access to best-in-class cancer care for Veterans enrolled in our equal access health care system.

Of the 9 million Veterans receiving VA health care benefits, one third live in rural areas. Approximately 60% of rural communities do not have a doctor focused on cancer, or an oncologist. Even as this gap exists, VA is committed to providing access to the full continuum of cancer care, from screening, to treatment guided by Veterans’ unique genetic circumstances to post-treatment survivorship, no matter where a Veteran lives.

During the discussion, you will hear from VA leaders and oncologists who live and breathe the work of providing best-in-class cancer care to Veterans every day.
