ACS Hematologic Cancer Collaborative
Launched in 2024, the American Cancer Society Hematologic Cancer Collaborative unites a diverse network of national thought leaders, clinicians, researchers, and advocates dedicated to improving outcomes for people affected by blood cancers. This initiative is designed to identify and address barriers and challenges that no single organization can solve alone, laying the foundation for collective action and strategic innovation. Through a consensus-building process, partners identified the three strategic priority areas below to focus our collaborative efforts.
- Addressing Equitable Access
- Managing Complexities
- Enhancing the Blood Cancer Care Experience
Current collaborative endeavors are focused on identifying specific activities to advance the three strategic priorities, and are intended to foster shared learning, elevate best practices, and drive meaningful, collaborative impact across the blood cancer care continuum.
This page will continue to be updated with key resources and educational offerings, reflecting our ongoing commitment to advancing education and providing valuable resources for professionals in this field.
