These barriers contribute to significant disparities in cancer outcomes for rural populations. To address these gaps, the Iowa Cancer Affiliate Network (I-CAN) offers a novel, collaborative model that strengthens rural hospitals\u2019 capacity to deliver high-quality cancer care. By adapting a network-based framework, I-CAN enhances multidisciplinary coordination, supports the implementation of evidence-based standards, and improves adherence to treatment quality measures.<\/p>\n<p>This webinar will explore the structure and function of I-CAN, including implementation strategies, evaluation methods, and early outcomes. Attendees will gain insights into how this scalable model can transform cancer care delivery in rural regions across the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, save the date for the other two webinars in the series:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Session 2: Implementing Scalable Exercise Interventions to Address Supportive Care Disparities in Rural Cancer Survivors <\/strong>\u200bon January 6, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET\/1:00 PM CT\/noon MT\/11:00 AM PT<\/li>\n<li><strong>Session 3: A Provider\u2019s Perspective on Building High Quality Cancer Care Programs in Rural Areas<\/strong>\u200b on March 3, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET\/1:00 PM CT\/noon MT\/11:00 AM PT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next month, we invite you to join NNLM Region 6 for session one of a three-part webinar series focused on cancer care in rural regions.
