Caring Ambassadors Program, Inc. Information

Our mission is to improve the lives of patients and communities by empowering and educating them to be advocates for their own health. The Caring Ambassadors Lung Cancer Program provides information and resources to help you and your loved ones understand your disease and some of the health care options available to you. Our three main methods to fight lung cancer are to EMPOWER patients and providers with access to free educational materials, and resources; to EDUCATE communities about the importance of screening and to share current information with patients and their families; and to ADVOCATE for access to screening and treatment for lung cancer for all communities. Knowledge empowers you to ask the necessary questions to become your own best advocate. When your questions have been asked and answered, you and your health care team will be in the best possible situation to determine the best treatment approach for you. The Caring Ambassadors Hepatitis C Program uses a unique approach in our work to address the elimination of viral hepatitis and specifically hepatitis C. Our three main methods to combat hepatitis C are to EMPOWER patients and providers to increase their knowledge of hepatitis C to improve access a cure; to EDUCATE systems and communities on how to integrate viral hepatitis services into existing programming; and to ADVOCATE on behalf of patients and communities to create sound policy, funding and messaging. We are honored to serve the community to help eliminate the largest infectious disease outbreak of our time; we promise to be bold in our approach to creating paths to health and making hepatitis C history.
