Welcome! Thank you for joining us at the 2024 Virginia Cancer Action Day. The event will take place on Wednesday, January 24th from 7:30am to 1:00pm. This page will provide you with all of the resources you need to feel prepared and confident going into the event. This year we are supporting cancer patients by improving access to life-saving medications by advocating for a bill that will eliminate expensive and unexpected co-pays.
