An Oncology Unscripted Episode
In the second installment of Oncology Unscripted, an unfiltered, honest dialogue about the state of cancer care today, hosts Mark Liu and Deirdre Saulet invite Meagan O’Neill, MS, Executive Director of ACCC, to discuss the Association’s plans for the upcoming year, honing in on challenges and opportunities within its membership. O’Neill shares the vision behind expanding the CANCER BUZZ podcast, the continued development of ACCC’s 2030 vision, and how she views crisis as a path forward for innovation.
“When I look at 2026, [I look] at crisis as an opportunity...How can we use this time to try something new and solve some of these problems?” – Meagan O’Neill, MS
“Unfortunately, [with] cancer care in this country, the outcomes and experience you [have] are too dependent on who you are, your zip code—even down to the door that you enter and the provider you see...There’s no shortage of opportunities to help programs start chipping away at that.”
– Meagan O’Neill, MS
