NAPT’s Patient Advocate Community (PAC) is a collaborative group of cancer survivors and caregivers who have come together to champion efforts that expand equitable access to life saving, life changing proton therapy treatment. PAC members serve as spokespersons, share their experiences via video and social engagement, collaborate to help educate stakeholders, and present about their valuable experiences at relevant conferences and events. Our advocates are patients, family members, professionals and community stakeholders who share a steadfast commitment to advancing:

We elevate public awareness of the profound benefits offered by proton therapy, ensuring that its potential is recognized and understood by all.
Patient Access
Through the development of resources, we work tirelessly to break down barriers and increase equitable access to this advanced treatment available to all who can benefit.
Education
We empower patients and healthcare professionals through education initiatives that highlight the clinical and economic advantages of proton therapy.

Through campaigns founded on the latest research and real-world insights, we strive to create meaningful change in healthcare policies and practices.
Research
