The Suan G. Komen Center for Public Policy believes every Colorado resident deserves equitable access to high-quality, affordable breast health care. We are committed to prioritizing policies that:

• Accelerate Research, as it is the driving force of advances in diagnosing and treating breast cancer and supporting increased access to clinical trials for all patient populations;
• Ensure Access to affordable and high-quality care for all patients, understanding that everyone must have equitable access to our health care system in order to reduce breast cancer mortality; and
• Alleviate Patient Burden through robust public policies that address both the financial toxicity of treating breast cancer and the systemic hurdles patients must overcome to access their care.
