This resolution commends the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN), a nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy organization that works to influence public policy related to cancer prevention, research, and care. The resolution highlights ACS CAN's significant achievements since 2001, including securing billions of dollars in cancer research funding, expanding healthcare access, and advancing tobacco control measures. It notes the critical health landscape in Georgia, where an estimated 66,000 residents will be diagnosed with cancer and over 19,000 are expected to die from the disease in 2025. The resolution recognizes the organization's commitment to addressing the comprehensive challenges faced by cancer patients, including physical, emotional, and financial burdens. By formally acknowledging ACS CAN's efforts, the resolution seeks to underscore the importance of policy-driven approaches to cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment, while also celebrating the dedicated volunteers who advocate for meaningful policy changes at federal, state, and local levels. The resolution formally commends ACS CAN for its outstanding contributions and directs the House Clerk to distribute an official copy of the resolution to the organization.
