ACCC Past Presidents

As the first organization to dedicate its mission to multidisciplinary cancer care, the Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC) has been at the forefront of developing critical education programs and promoting the collective concerns of the entire oncology team through its advocacy work.

The depth and breadth of ACCC's multidisciplinary focus is also evident through the diverse backgrounds of its leadership and their president’s themes. Since 2007, ACCC has invited its incoming president to select a theme for their year in office that addresses a timely issue in cancer care through the creation of programs and resources.
