The Iowa Oncology Society Mission
The purpose of the Society shall be:
- To promote the highest professional standards of oncology in the State of Iowa
- To study, research and exchange information, experiences, and ideas leading to improvement in oncology
- To represent the practice of oncology and hematology in the State of Iowa
- To identify and work to improve oncology practice issues that adversely affect patient access to cancer care
- To act as a patient advocate to assure that patients have access to the best available care
- To support and encourage clinical research against cancer.
In order to carry out these interests, some of the goals for the Society include:
- Affect legislation and public policy relative to patient access to cancer care
- Act as a resource on the "accepted medical practices" associated with cancer care
- Provide a forum for education of our members on current technologies and their role as accepted medical practices
- Provide communications to our members and others on issues affecting patient access to cancer care and the practice of oncology.
