Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada hosts Advocacy Day at the Capitol

On April 2, Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada (CCCN) held its Day at the Capitol in Carson City, Nevada. Throughout the day, CCCN physicians, providers, patients, and administrative staff met with more than 20 members of the Nevada Senate and General Assembly, as well as Governor Joe Lombardo’s health care policy advisor.

The team engaged in productive conversations to educate lawmakers on the critical role community oncology plays in delivering high-quality, accessible, and cost-effective cancer care—particularly for patients in the Las Vegas area. In addition to highlighting the value of community-based care, CCCN representatives advocated for several key healthcare priorities, including expanding screening, ensuring licensure for genetic counselors, limiting PBMs’ abusive practices, and streamlining the prior authorization process.

By engaging with lawmakers and advocating for a strong and accessible healthcare system, CCCN continues to be a leader in providing high-quality community cancer care to Nevadans. Thank you to the physicians, patients, and leaders who traveled to Carson City and helped make our Day at the Nevada Capitol a success!
