Patient Ambassadors

Patient Ambassadors

A patient ambassador is a thriver, or family member, who supports the mission of the Anal Cancer Foundation through compassion, personal story-telling, philanthropy, and advocacy.

Could you be a Patient Ambassador?

A Patient Ambassador is an anal cancer thriver or family member who supports the mission of the Anal Cancer Foundation through compassion, personal storytelling, philanthropy, and advocacy. Patient ambassadors serve as a visible presence within their communities on behalf of the Anal Cancer Foundation and assist with projects and initiatives such as leading and inspiring outreach and awareness campaigns.

Why become a Patient Ambassador?

• Empower thrivers and caregivers to talk about their challenges and share information in the hopes of eradicating stigma
• Educate others about health issues that affect the anal cancer community, including prevention, patient support, legislative actions, and liaising with the medical community
• Make new connections and participate in fun outreach activities
• Be a part of promoting and advancing the research agenda that will eradicate HPV-associated diseases and bring anal cancer treatment into the modern era
• Build a community of thrivers, caregivers and other allies

You can learn more about the patient ambassador program via our guidelines and agreement.
