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.

Join us for our next MY LIFE Matters Perkatory in partnership with Elephants and Tea, where we will be celebrating the creation and release of our newest issue, "Politics and Policy Matters". Thursday, February 5th, 2026 7:00-8:30pm ET Register today! us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/SXHImkNtQCmiwsAhH1X4ug?utm_source=Elephants+and+Tea&utm_campaign... Politics and policy don’t live in headlines alone—they live in our bodies, our treatment options, and our futures. This issue is dedicated to exploring why advocacy, research, and policy decisions matter, especially for young people living with cancer, stage IV disease, or in survivorship. This event brings our community together to share stories, spark conversation, and remind one another that change begins when lived experience is heard. In partnership, we’re creating space to use our voices for impact, to confront health inequities, and to show that no matter who you are or where you’re from, your story matters. Come as you are. Listen, share, and be part of a collective pushing for a more just and equitable future in cancer care. ... See MoreSee Less
