Empowering Equity: Tigerlily Foundation’s Fight Against Breast Cancer Disparities
Tigerlily Foundation is committed to advancing public policy to further our mission to educate, advocate for, empower, and support young women before, during, and after cancer. We are striving to make our vision of ending disparities of age, stage, and color in our lifetime a reality through:

Tigerlily Foundation has decades of history in the policy landscape. Our goal has always been to advocate for impact by driving policy making to create equity for patients. Patient advocacy leadership has always been key—here within Tigerlily and in guiding public policy. We water the seeds of inspiration and innovation, and working with advocates, advocacy organizations and stakeholders, have created policies and legislation that have changed the lives of millions of people. We are excited to culminate these years of momentum into our Health Equity Advocacy and Leadership (HEAL) Policy Center for Excellence (COE).
Through Tigerlily’s HEAL Policy COE, we work to educate, empower, and lift patient voices to ensure they are amplified, in order to achieve health equity and end disparities. The HEAL Policy COE will focus on systemic changes through policy at the local, state, and federal level to:
- End barriers to accessing and receiving quality, equitable care for all,
- Lead innovation through patient-leadership, and
- Achieve health equity and eliminate disparities in breast cancer.
Through the HEAL Policy COE, we seek to influence policy for these purposes through bi-directional learning, programs, and training to cultivate a center to exchange ideas, activate voices and create lasting change.

Access to clinical trials shouldn’t depend on where you live, what you earn, or whether you can afford the additional costs that can come with participation.ANGEL Advocate Camille Lewis is using her voice to advocate for change and calling on Congress to support the Clinical Trial Modernization Act. For patients, participating in a clinical trial can mean navigating more than treatment. Travel, lodging, meals, time away from work, and other expenses can create very real barriers to accessing potentially life-changing research.The Clinical Trial Modernization Act would help reduce those barriers by supporting trial-related expenses and expanding opportunities for remote participation, helping make clinical trials more accessible and representative of the communities they are intended to serve.As Camille reminds us, patient voices have the power to help move policy forward.Join Camille and Tigerlily Foundation in advocating for clinical trials that are more accessible, equitable, and patient-centered.📢 Take action today. Send a letter to Congress and urge lawmakers to support the Clinical Trial Modernization Act:secure.everyaction.com/RogCaEJ9rkSbzkxRuF9nwA2Together, we can help create a future where more patients have the opportunity to participate in clinical research.#tigerlilyfoundation #ClinicalTrialModernizationAct #ClinicalTrials #PatientAdvocacy #HealthEquity #angeladvocates #accesscantwait
