The Issue

Rural cancer patients know firsthand the life-changing impact telehealth services have made. Telehealth has revolutionized access to high-quality care, bridging the gap for patients who face immense challenges due to distance, limited resources, and a shortage of specialized providers.

But this progress is now in jeopardy. Recent uncertainty surrounding federal telehealth reforms threatens to dismantle this essential lifeline. If these reforms fail to prioritize rural patients, countless individuals could experience severe disruptions to their care, reversing the progress we've made in ensuring equitable access to health services.

We cannot afford to lose this vital resource. Policymakers must secure the future of telehealth to protect the health and well-being of rural cancer patients and all citizens who rely on these services.

Join us in urging our legislators to make telehealth changes permanent. Together, we can ensure that rural patients continue to receive the care they deserve. Sign the petition today and help protect the future of telehealth!
