New Lung Cancer Patient Web Portal Delivers Latest News Daily

One of The Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation's (ALCF) most important services in 2015 will be our their new 24/7 Patient Web Portal, an all-encompassing, centralized “go-to” hub embodying what they mean when they say that ALCF is a “patient-first, patient-focused” organization that takes a 360 degree approach to living with lung cancer. Set to launch early this year, this unique resource will connect patients/caregivers to a range of programs to support, guide, educate, empower and comfort them throughout their lung cancer journey.

The Portal’s landing page is a new, powerful, interactive 3-dimensional Patient Education/Communications Center that is the first-of-its-kind in proactively providing real-time medical/scientific breaking news to patients/caregivers with the option to engage in dialogue with ALCF’s Director of Research & Medical Affairs and/or our Education Programs & Services staff. This Center also opens the door to our Patient Community Resources section that links to multiple resources for lung cancer patients and provides access to patient-to-patient networking and peer-to-peer mentoring.

The portal provides the latest information on new treatments/therapeutics, diagnostics, prognostics and exciting developments in research that have immediate impact on lung cancer patient lives. Individuals may opt-in to access information in a way that works best for them: through daily updates/news flashes sent to their email or via ALCF’s smartphone app, on their website, or through a monthly newsletter. Many thanks to Genentech for their support of this critical new patient service!
