Nurses Caring for Cancer Patients: From Community to Capitol Hill ALEC STONE, MA, MPA HEALTH POLICY DIRECTOR ONCOLOGY NURSING SOCIETY APRIL 24, 2015

Nurses: Most Trusted Healthcare Providers

The Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) is a professional association of more than 35,000 members committed to promoting excellence in oncology nursing and the transformation of cancer care. Since 1975, ONS has provided a professional community for oncology nurses, developed evidence-based education programs and treatment information, and advocated for patient care, all in an effort to improve quality of life and outcomes for patients with cancer and their families. Together, ONS and the cancer community seek to reduce the risks, incidence, and burden of cancer by encouraging healthy lifestyles, promoting early detection, and improving the management of cancer symptoms and side effects throughout the disease trajectory. Oncology Nurse: The Point of Contact

ONS Health Policy Agenda Federal Policy Agenda 2015: ◦improving cancer symptom management and palliative care; ◦advancing and ensuring access to quality cancer prevention and care; ◦strengthening nursing workforce contributions to safeguard public health.
