Dr Hopkins announced that her theme for the 2025-2026 year will be Designing Oncology Care to Meet the Needs of a Growing Patient Population.

“To meet the unprecedented future need forecasted for the growing patient population within cancer, we must harness the full potential of our interdisciplinary oncology team to address the entire cancer care continuum—from screening and prevention to survivorship and end-of-life care,” shared Dr Hopkins. “Comprehensive and coordinated or connected service lines are vital to ensuring reliable access to high-quality cancer care for all patients, regardless of who they are, where they live, or the location or setting in which they seek care.”

The 2025-2026 ACCC President’s Theme will focus on 4 key focus areas: Workforce Empowerment and Enablement, Capacity Building at Scale, Technology as a Workforce Multiplier, and Optimized Oncology Service Line Structures.
