"[Capitol] Hill Day is a chance for cancer care providers to directly engage in the policymaking process—it's not part of their normal day jobs, but they find it incredibly rewarding." –  Nicole Tapay, JD   "When cancer care providers visit the Hill in person, it's a very valuable part of the process; they share firsthand experiences that truly illustrate the impact of policy decisions." –  Nicole Tapay, JD   Nicole Tapay, JD Director, Cancer Care Delivery & Health Policy Association of Cancer Care Centers   Additional Resources ACCC Capitol Hill Day (https://www.accc-cancer.org/home/attend/capitol-hill-day) 2024 Policy Wrap-Up – Oncology Issues, Vol.40, No 1, 2025 (https://journals.accc-cancer.org/view/2024-policy-wrap-up?_gl=1*ael8au*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3Mzg2OTM3MDUuQ2owS0NRaUFrb2U5QmhEWUFSSXNBSDg1Y0RPekNiaW1WYkJ0TGw1dEtwV0s3ZzFtbWZ3b0tFMkxENTUwMVRkZGZUQzByOUFCS1FUeVpVSWFBa3dvRUFMd193Y0I.*_ga*MTIxNzU0NTA2MC4xNjkxNzY0Mjg0*_ga_HW05FVSTWC*MTc0MDA2NjkzMS41Ni4xLjE3NDAwNjc2NzEuNTIuMC4w) Register for the 51st Annual Meeting and Cancer Care Business Summit (https://events.accc-cancer.org/event/90b42ca3-a5fd-4f87-a1eb-fe4e00d2e9de/overview?RefId=LIP&utm_campaign=2025AM&utm_campaign=CMI%20%7C%20CMA-22-ACCC010%20%7C%20AMCCBS%2025%20%7C%20EV&utm_medium=paid&utm_medium=ppc&utm_source=google&utm_source=adwords&utm_term=accc%20annual%20meeting&hsa_acc=3682411462&hsa_cam=22029487582&hsa_grp=175156250827&hsa_ad=725387102374&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=kwd-2265122107589&hsa_kw=accc%20annual%20meeting&hsa_mt=p&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAn9a9BhBtEiwAbKg6fhOf1fzDdOci-BU8AdIjtS9Y9domwiVkSlasNVK7jVaYE2yv799cHRoC_k4QAvD_BwE) View Agenda for the 51st Annual Meeting and Cancer Care Business Summit (https://agenda.mjhlifesciences.com/agenda/accc/e02ac0e0-7646-4ff5-b872-e3e2ee8b7e22?_gl=1*1k3a1eu*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3NDAwMDE0ODcuQ2p3S0NBaUFuOWE5QmhCdEVpd0FiS2c2ZmhPZjFmekRkT2NpLUJVOEFkSWp0UzlZOWRvbXdpVmtTbGFzTlZLN2pWYVlFMnl2Nzk5Y0hSb0NfazRRQXZEX0J3RQ..*_ga*MTU3NjkxMTU5Mi4xNzM2MTc4MTQy*_ga_HW05FVSTWC*MTc0MDAwMDc4NS43Mi4xLjE3NDAwMDE0ODguNDQuMC4w)
