National Brain Tumor Society Inc

Our connect strategy convenes, educates, and unites the brain tumor community. We bring stakeholders together, to address barriers to the development of new treatments and better health care. Nbts leads several national awareness campaigns to educate the public about brain tumors and the importance of reducing the burden of them. We equip patients and care partners with tools and resources to navigate every step of their unique health care journeyfrom understanding their diagnosis and building their medical team to making decisions about treatment. We organize events that bring the brain tumor community together to honor, learn, develop meaningful relationships, turn grief into action, and fuel momentum for our cause. Our support groups foster connections showing patients and care partners that they are not alone.

Our change strategy fuels the voice of the brain tumor community to advocate public policy. We ensure the community's needs are reflected in national medical research and health care policy. Together, we advocate for the federal government to make strategic investments in brain tumor research, improve health care delivery, reduce health disparities, and raise the priority level for our community's needs. Over 18,000 volunteer advocates across all 50 states affect change at all levels annually. We mobilize our community on policy issues to urge government officials to enact policies that support our vision of conquering and curing brain tumorsonce and for all. Through our advocacy, we affect the lives of nearly one million americans living with a brain tumor today, and those who will be diagnosed.
