HIT ConsultantBiden Admin Builds on Cancer Moonshot with 13 More Initiatives

The Cancer Moonshot aims to enhance the lives of individuals and families dealing with and surviving cancer, lower the death rate from cancer by at least 50% over the following 25 years, and ultimately put an end to cancer as we currently know it. In order to mobilize the federal government, the President established the first-ever Cancer Cabinet last year. He urged people, healthcare professionals, and leaders from various sectors to step up and take action in five key priority areas: (1) close the screening gap; (2) comprehend and address environmental exposure; (3) lessen the impact of preventable cancers; (4) bring cutting-edge research through the pipeline to patients and communities; and (5) support patients and their care. Here is the list of 13 more initiatives to go along with the already-introduced 25 programs, policies, and resources to address these five priority areas.
