The American Action Network is a Washington, DC-based organization dedicated to reducing health disparities and improving access to healthcare. They work to increase access to health insurance, remove hurdles to cancer care, and advocate for increased funding for cancer research and prevention programs. Through their initiatives, such as the Survivor Views Black Volunteer Caucus and LGBTQ and Allies Engagement Group, they aim to address the specific needs of diverse communities. The organization also focuses on promoting healthy eating and active living, pain relief, tobacco control, and access to biomarker testing. The American Action Network collaborates with volunteers to pass legislation and advance policy changes at all levels of government to save more lives from cancer. They urge Congress to pass bills that increase funding for cancer research and prevention programs, eliminate out-of-pocket costs for prostate cancer screenings, and create a pathway for Medicare to cover multi-cancer early detection tests. By prioritizing cancer prevention and research, they aim to end cancer as we know it and improve the quality of life for individuals affected by the disease.Generated from the website
