Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A TO THAT END, THE FOUNDATION WORKS TIRELESSLY TO ENSURE THAT THE ISSUES AFFECTING CANCER SURVIVORSHIP ARE ADDRESSED BY ORGANIZATIONS AND ENTITIES AROUND THE NATION SO THAT THE NEEDS OF THE APPROXIMATELY 14 MILLION CANCER SURVIVORS IN THE UNITED STATES ARE MET. A WIDE RANGE OF INITIATIVES ARE FUNDED ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LEADING ACADEMIC, COMMUNITY AND ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS TO ENSURE IT IS FULFILLING ITS MISSION. LIVESTRONGTM SURVIVORSHIP CENTER OF EXCELLENCE NETWORK - THE FOUNDATION HAS SUPPORTED THE WORK OF SURVIVORSHIP CENTERS SINCE 2000. THESE CENTERS HISTORICALLY WORKED AUTONOMOUSLY AND SERVED BOTH PEDIATRIC AND ADULT SURVIVORS. IN 2005, THE FOUNDATION LAUNCHED A NEW INITIATIVE TO CREATE AND MAINTAIN A NETWORK OF SURVIVORSHIP CENTERS TO FOSTER COLLABORATION AMONG CENTERS AND FURTHER THE IMPACT ON CANCER SURVIVORSHIP. ONLY PRE-SELECTED NCI-DESIGNATED COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTERS ARE INVITED TO APPLY FOR FUNDING AND EACH MUST COLLABORATE WITH COMMUNITY-BASED HOSPITALS. THE FOUNDATION ALSO WORKS WITH THE NETWORK CENTERS ON COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH PROJECTS IN THE AREA OF SURVIVORSHIP. NETWORK MEMBERS: - ABRAMSON CANCER CENTER, UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA - PHILADELPHIA, PA - DANA-FARBER CANCER INSTITUTE - BOSTON, MA - FRED HUTCHINSON CANCER RESEARCH CENTER - SEATTLE, WA - MEMORIAL SLOAN-KETTERING CANCER CENTER - NEW YORK, NY - UCLA'S JONSSON COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTER - LOS ANGELES, CA - UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO CANCER CENTER - DENVER, CO - UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA LINEBERGER COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CENTER - CHAPEL HILL, NC LIVESTRONGTM YOUNG ADULT ALLIANCE - EACH YEAR, NEARLY 70,000 YOUNG ADULTS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 15 AND 39 ARE DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER. IN CONTRAST TO THOSE YOUNGER AND OLDER, SURVIVAL RATES FOR YOUNG ADULTS HAVE NOT INCREASED SINCE 1975, POSSIBLY DUE TO FACTORS SUCH AS LACK OF INSURANCE, LESS PARTICIPATION IN CLINICAL TRIALS AND DELAYED DIAGNOSES. THE FOUNDATION HAS HAD A LONG TRACK RECORD OF PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS AIMED SPECIFICALLY TO THIS SEGMENT OF THE CANCER COMMUNITY. DUE TO THE TREMENDOUS GROWTH OF THE YOUNG ADULT MOVEMENT AND THE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS MADE IN ADDRESSING THEIR SPECIFIC NEEDS, A NEW COALITION (SEPARATE FROM THE FOUNDATION) WAS CREATED WITH THE VISION THAT THIS NEW ALLIANCE WOULD CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON SERVING AYAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER. TO HELP ESTABLISH THE NEW ENTITY, THE FOUNDATION GRANTED A SECOND YEAR OF FUNDING IN 2013 AND HIRED A NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO LEAD THE CHARGE. THE FOUNDATION CONTINUED TO SUPPORT CRITICAL MASS THROUGH THE END OF 2014. IN ADDITION TO ITS SUPPORT OF THE NEW ALLIANCE, THE FOUNDATION WILL CONTINUE TO INVEST INTERNALLY IN AYAO-RELATED WORK. THE NEW ENTITY, CRITICAL MASS: THE YOUNG ADULT CANCER ALLIANCE, HAS A MISSION TO INCREASE SURVIVAL RATES, QUALITY OF LIFE, AND ENSURE ACCESS TO THE BEST MEDICAL AND PSYCHOSOCIAL RESOURCES FOR AYAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER. PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION THE LIVESTRONG FOUNDATION COLLABORATES WITH PARTNERS, INCLUDING PARTICIPATION IN PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT OF COURSE OUTLINES AND SPONSORSHIP OF CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSES. DURING 2014, THE LIVESTRONG FOUNDATION OFFERED FREE, ACCREDITED NURSING EDUCATION THROUGH COLLABORATIVE SPONSORSHIPS WITH TWO CONTINUING EDUCATION PROVIDERS: NURSE ONCOLOGY EDUCATION PROGRAM (NOEP.ORG). PARTNERSHIPS DEVELOPED AND OFFERED CONTINUING EDUCATION ("CE") OPPORTUNITIES AROUND BEST PRACTICES FOR CANCER CARE AT NO COST TO NURSES AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A - AT THE CROSSROADS: CANCER IN AGES 15-39 IS A 1-CONTACT HOUR ACCREDITED CE VIDEO COURSE FOR NURSES ABOUT THE UNIQUE ISSUES FACED BY AYAS WITH CANCER. NOEP AND THE LIVESTRONG FOUNDATION REACCREDITED AND CONTINUED TO OFFER THIS COURSE RECOGNIZING THAT NURSES, NO MATTER THE FIELD OF PRACTICE, CAN POSITIVELY IMPACT TREATMENT OF ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS AFFECTED BY CANCER. THE VIDEOS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE ON NOEP'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR THOSE VIEWERS NOT IN NEED OF CE. DURING 2014, 1,495 NURSING PROFESSIONALS TOOK THE AYA CE COURSE FOR CREDIT. OF THESE, MOST RESPONDENTS INDICATED THAT THEY WERE MORE LIKELY TO CONSIDER CANCER IN A DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF AN AYA AFTER TAKING THE COURSE. - ADVANCING CARE: CANCER IN HISPANIC/LATINO POPULATIONS IS A 1-CONTACT HOUR ACCREDITED CE VIDEO COURSE ABOUT CANCER ISSUES EXPERIENCED IN THE HISPANIC/LATINO POPULATION. 1,019 NURSES COMPLETED THE COURSE BY DECEMBER 2013. MOST OF THE NURSES WHO TOOK THE TRAINING INDICATED THAT THEY GAINED INCREASED AWARENESS OF THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF THIS POPULATION FOLLOWING A CANCER DIAGNOSIS FROM THIS COURSE. LIVESTRONGTM NAVIGATION SERVICES - LIVESTRONGTM NAVIGATION SERVICES ARE FOR ANYONE AFFECTED BY CANCER, INCLUDING THE PERSON DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER AS WELL AS THEIR LOVED ONES AND HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS.

IN ADDITION TO DIRECT SUPPORT WITH CANCER NEEDS, THE LIVESTRONG CANCER NAVIGATION CENTER PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES THAT HELP SURVIVORS COPE WITH THEIR DIAGNOSIS, INCLUDING THE OFFERING OF EDUCATIONAL CLASSES AND DISCUSSION FORUMS. IN ADDITION, THE FOUNDATION PROVIDES INFORMATION, TOOLS AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS EFFECTIVELY CARE FOR CANCER PATIENTS. ALL SERVICES PROVIDED BY NAVIGATION SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY DURING REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS (9-5PM CT). A FEW HIGHLIGHTS OF 2014 INCLUDE: - SAVED CLIENTS APPROXIMATELY $6 MILLION THROUGH NEGOTIATION OF DISCOUNTS, MAXIMIZATION OF AVAILABLE MEDICATION PROGRAMS AND OVERTURNED DENIALS FROM INSURANCE COMPANIES. - HELPED MORE THAN 8,893 INDIVIDUALS, HAVING AN AVERAGE OF 5 INTERACTIONS WITH EACH CLIENT - DISTRIBUTED MORE THAN 165,000 LIVING AFTER CANCER TREATMENT BROCHURES, LIVESTRONGTM GUIDEBOOKS AND PATIENT RESOURCE GUIDES - SERVED 795 AUSTIN AREA CLIENTS - DEVELOPED LIVESTRONG RALLY, AN ONLINE HUB TO CONNECT PEOPLE WITH THEIR SUPPORT COMMUNITY TO HELP THEM MEET THEIR DAILY NEEDS AND PROVIDE UPDATES ON THEIR JOURNEY WITH CANCER. RESEARCH PROGRAM - THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT RESEARCH THAT IS PATIENT-CENTERED REMAINS A HIGH PRIORITY OF THE FOUNDATION. WHILE THE FOUNDATION DID NOT FORMALLY RELEASE AN ORIGINAL REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL AND FUND NEW RESEARCH GRANTS IN 2014, IT CONTINUED TO MONITOR 2 ACTIVE GRANTS FROM PAST GRANT CYCLES THAT ADDRESS KEY RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE NATIONAL ACTION PLAN ON CANCER SURVIVORSHIP AND THE REPORTS OF THE ADOLESCENT AND YOUNG ADULT ONCOLOGY PROGRESS REVIEW GROUP. THE FOUNDATION'S RESEARCH PROGRAM IS UNIQUE IN ITS POSITION TO HEAR AND RESPOND TO THE VOICES OF PEOPLE AFFECTED BY CANCER FROM SEVERAL LEVELS, WHETHER FROM CONSTITUENTS WHO FOLLOW THE FOUNDATION ONLINE, FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO JOIN THE FOUNDATION AT PUBLIC EVENTS, OR FROM THOSE WHO SIMPLY CALL THE FOUNDATION, LOOKING FOR HELP AND SUPPORT. IN 2014, THE FOUNDATION MADE PROGRESS WITH RESEARCH ON SEVERAL FRONTS. THE FOUNDATION FIELDED A NEW SURVEY FOR CANCER SURVIVORS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THEIR INFORMATION NEEDS. THROUGHOUT 2014, THE FOUNDATION PRESENTED THE RESULTS FROM THE 2012 SURVEY AT SEVERAL NATIONAL CONFERENCES AND MEETINGS. ADDITIONALLY, THE FOUNDATION CONDUCTED SEVERAL FOCUS GROUPS AND PERSON INTERVIEWS WITH SURVIVORS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE SURVIVORSHIP EXPERIENCE OF INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN CENTRAL TEXAS. THE BIG C IN 2014, LIVESTRONG LAUNCHED THE BIG C, A GLOBAL COMPETITION FOR INNOVATIONS THAT IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE 32.5 MILLION PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD LIVING WITH CANCER.

POLICY AND GOVERNMENT RELATIONS - IN 2014, THE FOUNDATION CONTINUED OUR WORK PROMOTING PATIENT CENTERED POLICY INITIATIVES. POLICY CHANGE IS ESSENTIAL TO THE FOUNDATION'S GOAL OF SHIFTING ACCESS TO AND DELIVERY OF IDEAL CANCER CARE. THE LIVESTRONG FOUNDATION BELIEVES THAT WIDESPREAD IMPACT IS ACHIEVED BY DEVELOPING OR ENHANCING HEALTHCARE LEGISLATION, REGULATIONS, AND STANDARDS THAT IMPROVE OVERALL SYSTEMS. IN 2014, WE SENT 31 LIVESTRONG ADVOCATES TO WASHINGTON DC FOR THE ONE VOICE AGAINST CANCER (OVAC) LOBBY DAY TO URGE LEGISLATORS TO INCREASE FUNDING FOR CANCER PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH.

FINDINGS WERE COMPILED AND DATA WAS SHARED WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO HIGHLIGHT THE IMPACT THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT IS HAVING ON PEOPLE AFFECTED BY CANCER. WE ADVOCATED FOR FULL FUNDING OF THE CANCER PREVENTION AND RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF TEXAS (CPRIT) AND EMPHASIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF SURVIVORSHIP PROGRAMS IN ADVANCE OF THE 84TH SESSION OF THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE.
