About Journey Forward

Journey Forward is a new program designed for doctors and their patients who have recently completed active treatment for cancer. This program was created by a unique collaboration of organizations with the common goal of improving survivorship care.

Journey Forward promotes the use of a Survivorship Care Plan. This plan, completed by the Survivor’s oncology team, gives clear steps for care after active treatment. The plan begins with a simple, yet complete, treatment summary and offers guidelines for monitoring future care.

We encourage oncologists and primary care physicians to implement Survivorship Care Plan into their practices so cancer Survivors can move forward with the care and support they need.

Journey Forward was created by a collaboration among:

National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship
UCLA Cancer Survivorship Center
WellPoint, Inc.
Genentech

 

“This is a systematic approach to end of treatment planning.... There is a pathway to follow for after treatment care – similar to what exists today for treatment planning."—Oncologist
