ABOUT

Who Are We?

Founded in 2022, the Arkansas Association of Cancer Professionals (AACP) is the largest oncology professional organization in the state. AACP comprises a powerful community of oncologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, and other multidisciplinary care providers involved in the treatment of patients with cancer.

The Arkansas Association of Cancer Professionals (AACP) is a State Chapter Member with the Association of Cancer Care Centers (ACCC). Through this collaboration, AACP members have access to valuable educational content and innovative resources that help them stay ahead of local and national challenges— ensuring patients continue to receive the high-quality care they deserve.

We collaborate with internal and external organizations to support our mission of improving patient outcomes and the treatment of cancer in the State of Arkansas.

To carry out our mission, we strive to:

  • Improve the quality of oncology care available to the people of Arkansas
  • Support oncology education and facilitate the development and use of new cancer management techniques in the community
  • Serve as a leader in the oncology field, representing our members and the local community at state and national events
  • Provide access to scientific, socioeconomic, clinical, and other relevant data
  • Promote collegial relationships among oncology professionals in Arkansas.

In order to carry out these interests, some of the goals for the Society include:

  • Advocate on state and federal legislative issues impacting patient access to care
  • Provide an education forum for our members on the current technologies and medical best practices in cancer care delivery
  • Communicate changes and updates in oncology practice to our members and the broader community.
