Press Release - First Lady Jill Biden to Host White House Call with Community Health Leaders to Highlight New Actions to Provide Patient Navigation Support to Americans with Cancer

On Wednesday, November 15th, at 1:00 PM ET, as part of the Biden Cancer Moonshot, the White House will convene a call with First Lady Jill Biden, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), community health leaders, and patient advocates to highlight new actions by the Biden Administration to expand access to patient navigation services for Americans who are facing cancer, including a new final rule from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that will ensure Medicare patients can benefit from services and support that help them navigate their cancer journey. As part of the President's State of the Union earlier this year, the Biden Cancer Moonshot announced it was taking steps to ensure that patient navigation services are accessible to as many Americans as possible. Dr. Biden will be joined by Deputy Assistant to the President for the Cancer Moonshot and White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) Deputy Director Dr. Danielle Carnival, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, and American Medical Association (AMA) President Dr. Jesse Ehrenfeld.
