This will be a very interesting seminar. I know we are all interested in learning how we can support health equity and close the gaps that we see.

Check out "The Case for Decentralizing Cancer Care: The Rural Oncology Home" in the most recent NEJM Catalyst, outlining "a community-based, team-oriented framework that incorporates medical specialists and emphasizes supportive services...Lakewood Health System Rural Oncology Home model can potentially create a more equitable system of cancer care delivery." Polaris works with health systems, care teams & payers struggling to address inequities in rural care, particularly cancer care, and we're excited to leverage the findings of this innovative model in our work. #RuralHealth #OncologyMedicalHome #SupportiveCare

When living with small cell lung cancer (#SCLC), fostering better health and wellness begins with understanding how to ask for help when you need it, and recognizing the strength in seeking information and resources for your care journey. As we honor #LungCancerAwarenessMonth, hear Jim Baranski, Executive Director of the Lung Cancer Foundation of America, discuss the importance of asking for help and relying on your care team to point you to the right resources when navigating life with SCLC.

In the journey toward achieving genuinely close and person-centered care, it is crucial to refine the roles of hospitals, primary care, and municipal healthcare. Yesterday, at Vitali's Meeting Place for Egenmonitorering (self-monitoring) in Stockholm, we came together to exchange knowledge and share experiences. Margareta Haag, from Nätverket mot Cancer (Network against Cancer) offering insights from a European Union perspective, emphasized that patients are advocating for the integration of self-monitoring to enhance their quality of life. She also delved into the discussion on self-monitoring within the EU Beating Cancer Plan. #selfmonitoring #selftracking #EUBeatingCancerPlan
