Hospitals, state cancer groups expand list of ROCR Act supporters

December 10, 2024

One of the country’s top 10 largest hospital systems and nine oncology societies have signed on in support of the ROCR Act recently. Has your organization signed on yet? With a limited year-end legislative package expected, ASTRO is already hard at work to advance the ROCR Act in the new Congress.

ASTRO appreciates the support of Advocate Health, with 69 hospitals across six states, for writing a strong letter to Congressional leadership in support of the bill in October. ASTRO is also grateful for the leadership of Mark Henderson, MD, radiation oncologist at Columbus Regional Health and President of the Indiana Oncology Society for working with American Society for Clinical Oncology state affiliates to build support for the ROCR Act.

As of December 16, 2024, Minnesota Society of Clinical Oncology, Florida Society of Clinical Oncology, Northern New England Clinical Oncology Society, Nebraska Oncology Society, Association of Northern California Oncologists, Medical Oncology Association of Southern California, Massachusetts Society of Clinical Oncologists, Indiana Oncology Society, and Mississippi Oncology Society have signed on in support. Help us start 2025 strong by joining our list of supporters today.
