NNRT 2020-21 Report

The 2020-21 National Navigation Roundtable (NNRT) Report provides an overview of the history of the NNRT, what we have accomplished, and where we are heading in the future with a newly developed 5 year aim.

On February 2, 2022, President reignited the Cancer Moonshot with renewed White House leadership and engagement. Ambitious goals can be set due to recent progress in cancer therapeutics, diagnostics, and patient-driven care. The ultimate goal of the Moonshot is to reduce the death rate from cancer by at least 50 percent over the next 25 years, as well as improving the experience of cancer patients and caregivers.

The NNRT Steering Committee met in Denver, CO, on 26 April 2022, to identify new initiatives to support the goals of our 5-year aim.  The meeting was attended by the Steering Committee membership, both virtually as well as in person, and was facilitated by Ryan Soisson with Soisson and Associates. 

“It was awesome to have the NNRT gather at my home base of University of Colorado.  The theme of the day was sustainability of patient navigation.  Patient navigation is one of the only evidence based interventions to reduce barriers and increase access to care and we must also be sure navigators have stable jobs and livable wages.  This meeting further paved our way for equity,”  stated, Andi Dwyer, Chair of NNRT
