Every two years, the WCC’s Policy Committee develops a new Policy Agenda designed to reduce our state’s cancer burden and advance the goals of the Wisconsin Cancer Plan.
Our 2021-2022 Policy Agenda includes goals such as expanding access to health insurance, decreasing tobacco use, reducing barriers to cancer screenings, and lowering cancer costs for patients and families. Of the 12 legislative items included in the current Policy Agenda, 9 bills were introduced, and 3 bills became law.
Our next Policy Agenda, covering the 2023-2024 legislative session, will be discussed and approved at the Policy Committee’s December meeting.
We want to hear from you. What policy-related issues affect your work and your community? To share your thoughts as we draft the 2023-2024 Policy Agenda, please email WCC Policy Coordinator Amy Johnson by Nov. 1.
