Today is World Cancer Day. Over the last three years, Appalachian Mountain Project Access has scheduled more than 400 donated oncology appointments for patients in our region.

Meet Katelyn, one of our Care Coordinators. In 2022, Katelyn was diagnosed with Papillary Carcinoma of the Thyroid. She underwent a total thyroidectomy and high-dose nuclear radiation. The surgery permanently affected her body’s ability to regulate calcium, and she will always need to take supplements. In 2023, she went into remission. Today, she helps patients navigate the same kind of appointments and uncertainty she once faced herself.

At Project Access, oncology scheduling is more than a referral. It is access to treatment, stability, and someone walking alongside you. On World Cancer Day, we honor survivors, those still fighting, and the providers who make donated specialty care possible.
