Tigerlily Foundation has a 16-year 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 plan to further focus this work by educating, empowering, and lifting 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.

During National Family Caregivers Month, we honor the incredible individuals who dedicate themselves to caring for loved ones. But caregiving can take a toll, and the well-being of the caregiver is just as important. Let’s prioritize the physical, emotional, and mental health of those who give so much to others. Caregivers deserve compassion, rest, and support to thrive, not just survive.💚 A healthy caregiver is the heart of strong caregiving. #Selfcare #CaregiverWellbeing #CaringForCaregivers #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth ...
