Lung Cancer Alliance Joins National Partnership for Women & Families' Campaign for Better Care

May 3, 2010 [Washington, DC] -- Lung Cancer Alliance is proud to announce that it has joined the National Partnership for Women & Families’ Campaign for Better Care.  The Campaign for Better Care is a multi-year, multi-faceted approach to ensuring that health care reform is implemented with the patient and family in mind and that the health care delivery systems work for the most vulnerable groups. 

The goals of the campaign are to:

• Make improvements in the health care system so that it delivers high quality, comprehensive, and coordinated care, especially for vulnerable older adults and people with chronic conditions
• Build a strong and lasting consumer voice for better health care by mobilizing consumer advocates, older adults, and their families. 

The Campaign for Better Care hopes to reach these goals through a series of policy initiatives, a national consumer coalition, grassroots mobilization, partnerships and alliances with important health care stakeholders, and targeted messaging and communications. 

Lung Cancer Alliance is honored to be included in these important policy and outreach efforts.  Please check www.lungcanceralliance.org regularly for important updates on the Campaign for Better Care’s activities.
