Introduced in May 2026, the Lainie Jones Comprehensive Cancer Survivorship Act is bipartisan legislation that will help create a more coordinated, patient-centered system that supports survivors not just during treatment but throughout the rest of their lives. This bill is an important step on the path to improving survivorship care to better meet the unique lifelong needs of cancer survivors, including the nation's 521,000 childhood cancer survivors.

At Children's Cancer Cause, we're particularly proud that this bill would ensure Medicaid coverage of healthcare transition services for survivors of childhood and adolescent cancer. Childhood cancer survivors face a lifetime of health challenges due to their treatment. Many transition into primary care without a survivorship care plan and are unprepared for the significant health issues they may face, including hearing loss, infertility, and cardiac late effects. This bill will help survivors better understand their care and avoid falling through cracks after treatment. 

Join us in asking Congress to support cancer survivors by cosponsoring the Lainie Jones Comprehensive Cancer Survivorship Act.
