NCCS: National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship - Championing Survivors to Infinity and Beyond: An Interview with Dr. Veronika Panagiotou, PhD
What really happens behind the scenes in the world of national policy and legislative cancer survivorship advocacy? Dr. Panagiotou pulls back the curtain and takes us on an enlightening tour of NCCS’s mission, shedding light on how they’re ensuring the voices of survivors shape the future of cancer care at the highest levels. She keeps the conversation real and relatable.
Join us on Everything Cancer as we explore the world of cancer survivorship advocacy with Dr. Veronika Panagiotou, the strategically dynamic Advocacy and Program Manager at the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship (NCCS).
Dr. Panagiotou shares her inspiring journey from being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma to becoming an advocate for cancer survivors across the nation through the NCCS.
One of the most crucial roles NCCS plays is ensuring that the survivor's voice is heard at the crucial legislative and policy levels.
Dr. Panagiotou shares how the NCCS annual Survivorship Survey has made a significant impact by providing vital data that directly informs policy decisions. You can be a part of this by participating in the survey!
Dr. Panagiotou highlights the transformative tools and resources NCCS offers, including the Survivorship Checklist, to help survivors navigate their journey with confidence and clarity.
Whether you're a cancer survivor, a caregiver, or simply someone who wants to understand the impact of advocacy on cancer care, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration. Dr. Panagiotou’s passion for her work, her personal experience, and her dedication to championing survivors truly shine through, making this a must-listen.
