Journey-forward-newSurvivorship care planning is one element of NCCS’s work. NCCS’s goal is to ensure that every cancer patient has access to care planning and care coordination before, during, and after treatment.

This is a “crowd funding” program that is carried by MedStartr.com, which provides a platform for projects that have a health focus. We are asking Journey Forward supporters to provide feedback and potentially support My Care Plan through July 5th.My Care Plan is competing for a $25,000 award from NCI to further this work.
