GCCA Patient Advocate Toolkit

Patient Advocacy

This comprehensive toolkit is a resource for existing nonprofit patient advocacy groups that wish to further their impact and for individuals looking to establish new patient advocacy organizations in areas where no colorectal cancer organizations exist. It includes information and questions to guide advocates through the process of creating and structuring a patient advocacy organization, strategic planning, media communication, and fundraising. The toolkit also provides lots of tips from experienced patient advocates, and in-depth discussion and guidance on collaboration and partnerships with all stakeholders, including other patient organizations, professional healthcare associations, government, and industry.
