Today, cancer patients, survivors, caregivers and advocates gathered at the Statehouse to meet with their elected officials during @acscan’s Cancer Action Day. They let lawmakers know that Ohio can and must do better to reduce the cancer burden. https://t.co/zUbf6yAmtq
Thank you @reprachelbaker for making time to meet with our advocates from ACS CAN regarding SB 207 and HB 8! We appreciate your support!
#OhioFightsCancer
Looking forward to meetings with Senator Louis Blessing III @LBlessing308 today in Columbus for Cancer Action Day with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network Ohio!
#OhioFightsCancer
It’s the most exciting time of the year at OVAC—our annual Grassroots Lobby Day!🎗️We’re getting ready to head to Capitol Hill to share our stories & urge lawmakers to increase federal funding for #CancerResearch & #CancerPrevention. #OneVoice#CancerVoice26
Spread love, not surprise health care costs. Support patients by ensuring copay assistance counts toward
their deductible. Ohioans are counting on you to vote Senate Bill 207 out of committee! #OhioFightsCancer#AllCopaysCount
Cancer research saves lives and the fight against cancer can't wait. @SenJonHusted, please pass a spending bill NOW to protect and increase funding for lifesaving cancer research and prevention. Advocates with @acscan need you to #ProtectCancerCures.
ICYMI, @SteveWilsonOH & @Rob_McColley. No one should be penalized for utilizing a financial assistance program to afford their care. There is legislation currently being considered in Ohio that would address this issue. @toledonews@DrAliqueSays#OHleg https://t.co/Xy2klIDvU6
.@SenJonHusted and @berniemoreno, cancer patients, survivors, and families need you to #ProtectCancerCures. Can they count on you to support funding for lifesaving cancer research and prevention programs in the full-year spending bill?
Pleased to see @POTUS' pediatric #CancerResearch commitment. Federal investment is crucial to progress in #ChildhoodCancer. Funding for childhood cancer data initiatives is an example of the type of key research that can be done w/ increased @NIH funding. https://t.co/Ts6QE4nR47
The proposed cuts in the budget bill go well beyond Medicaid. This bill would raise health care costs for everyone, even those with private insurance. @berniemoreno, we’re urging you to vote NO.
#ProtectAffordableCare#ProtectMedicaid
Yesterday @HouseCommerce@EnergyCommerce passed a bill that would make devastating cuts to #Medicaid. @boblatta, we are extremely disappointed in your vote. Please stand up to #ProtectMedicaid for Ohioans and cancer patients when this bill comes to the floor.
This week, @ACSCAN Ohio cancer advocates call on Representatives @boblatta, @RepBalderson, @RepMichaelRulli and @RepGregLandsman to do the right thing and stand up for this lifesaving program. There is simply too much at stake. https://t.co/9F7iPhMh3I
We are counting on you Rep. Landsman.
Massive, rushed cuts to Medicaid will hurt millions of hardworking people in America who count on it for lifesaving health care. This includes countless cancer patients & survivors. @RepGregLandsman please #ProtectMedicaid.
We need your help. Make calls, write letters, fight with us.
Debate on these cuts and others will begin 2PM tomorrow in the Energy and Commerce.
Lives are on the line in this fight.

Advocates gathered at the statehouse to push #OHleg to take action that could help people struggling with this disease. “Make it easier to deal with this disease and hopefully extend people’s lives and hopefully even save lives.” @SpectrumNews1OH@LoukasChrissa
Thank you @reprachelbaker for taking the time to meet with me and my co- advocates today to talk about issues important to Ohio’s cancer communities! #ACSCANOH
