## Summary

**Creates the National Blood Cancer Program** within the Department of Health and Human Services to coordinate public education, clinician training, research grants, and patient support aimed at detecting and controlling blood cancers. It would also direct the Secretary to coordinate related activities across the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, and the Health Resources and Services Administration. - Patients and families: Would get expanded support for accessing diagnostics, treatments, and clinical trials, plus caregiver support and projects aimed at reducing diagnostic delays and worse outcomes in high-rate communities. - Health professionals: Would receive new educational materials and training programs to improve early detection and clinical skills, including resources for allied health workers and guidance on genetic risk and counseling. - Public health agencies, colleges, and academic medical centers: Would be eligible for two types of grants to test awareness campaigns and to develop and validate screening tools, novel treatments, and approaches to capture family history. Grant priorities target communities with high incidence or mortality and the program would report annually to Congress with demographic and service counts.
