Advocacy/Health Policy

Take Action as a Nurse Advocate

APHON is committed to advocating for expanded access to comprehensive care of cancer and blood disorders for children, endorsing research funding, and being a champion for the hematology and oncology nursing workforce. If this aligns with your values then we need you to add your voice to our advocacy efforts.

Each of you can be an advocate within your communities and institutions. You have the power to influence legislation and funding at the state and federal level. Follow along with us and you too can be a change agent.

Legislative Action Center

The APHON Legislative Action Center allows you to directly contact members of the U.S. Congress to raise your voice about pediatric hematology/oncology.
Get involved by staying informed and taking action!
