Four Rehabilitation professionals and one community partner representative from Kentucky Cancer Program will present the development and implementation of a statewide initiative called “Cancer Rehabilitation Across Kentucky.” We will discuss how multiple institutions were involved and how we utilized a non-biased centralized access point for Kentucky patients to identify where qualified cancer rehabilitation providers are located as close to their communities as possible. Our goal is for equitable access to cancer rehabilitation care across the state. We will discuss our goals and plans of increasing cancer rehabilitation education to statewide providers as well as to community members to increase awareness of the high rehabilitation needs of cancer patients and the under-utilization of rehabilitation in cancer care. We will open for audience participation and discussion at end of our presentation.
