Cancer Leadership Council
In 1993, health care reform issues reached national debate. To contribute to this debate and to develop a consensus on health care policies as viewed from the cancer patient's perspective, NCCS, under the leadership of Ellen Stovall, founded the Cancer Leadership Council (CLC).
The Cancer Leadership Council (CLC) is a forum for discussion and advocacy on issues related to cancer health policy from the patient/survivor perspective. Since 1993, the CLC has grown from eight cancer patient organizations to 33 groups as additional cancer patient organizations, professional societies and research organizations have joined the CLC's collective policy and advocacy efforts.
