Major Activities

Activity 2

Government affairs and advocacy - the government affairs and advocacy program in washington, d.c., focuses on educating elected officials about pancreatic cancer and the need to increase federal research funding dedicated to the disease. The federal government has more dollars for cancer research than any private entity. Therefore, we augment private research funding with aggressive advocacy for increased federal dollars for pancreatic cancer. Our efforts include bringing hundreds of supporters each to year to washington, d.c. To educate their elected officials about the disease and the urgent need to take action.

Activity 3

Patient and liaison services (pals) pals is a comprehensive, free information and education service for pancreatic cancer patients, their family members and caregivers, and health professionals. When an individual calls or emails the pals program, they are matched with highly trained, dedicated staff members, called pals associates, who are available to answer questions and provide information and support. The program is the only one of its kind providing quality, detailed information on topics including diagnosis, treatment options, clinical trials, diet and nutrition, specialists and support resources. Pals also hosts live, interactive educational events for pancreatic cancer patients, their family members and their caregivers. The goal of the pals program is to help patients and their families learn about and understand their options in order to make informed choices together with their medical teams
