Alliance for Quality Psychosocial Cancer Care

The CLRC has teamed up with the Alliance for Quality Psychosocial Cancer Care, an organization formed in the late fall of 2008 as an informal coalition of professional and advocacy organizations engaged in psychosocial cancer care issues. The primary goal of the Alliance is to implement recommendations from the Institute of Medicine’s report, “Cancer Care for the Whole Patient: Meeting Psychosocial Health Needs.” The Alliance also works to inform and educate key audiences that quality psychosocial care is critical to optimal clinical outcomes for people affected by cancer, to advocate policies to ensure that all patients are screened and have access to quality psychosocial care, and to advance translational research and standards of care in psychosocial oncology.
