Transportation Needs among Patients with Cancer:
A Webinar

September 21, 2021 | 1:30 - 3:30pm ET

On September 21, 2021, the National Cancer Policy Forum will host a webinar to discuss transportation needs among patients with cancer. Webinar participants will discuss topics such as transportation-related barriers to accessing care and how that affects patients with cancer, exemplar programs, and potential policy opportunities to address transportation needs across the cancer care continuum.

This webinar is the third in a series focusing on some of the social determinants of health and their impact on cancer care and patient outcomes. The webinar series is intended to inform an upcoming National Cancer Policy Forum workshop, Promoting Health Equity in Cancer Care, to be held on October 25-26, 2021.
