Since President Obama announced the Cancer Moon Shot initiative during his last State of the Union Address, ONS has been working to ensure that the voice of the oncology nurse is heard. We have had ONS CEO Brenda Nevidjon, as well as members Kathi Mooney, PhD, RN, FAAN, and Christine Miaskowski, RN, PhD, FAAN, included in panel discussions with the vice president, addressing topics ranging from research and clinical trials, to symptom and survivor management, big data, and the focus on the whole patient. ONS president-elect Sue Schneider joined the a panel discussion for the Patient Access Network Foundation, discussing cost sharing in health care and patient access. Learn more about our continued efforts around this and our other advocacy and health policy initiatives and ways in which individual nurses can get advocate and get involved.
