TACL | Taking Aim at Cancer in Louisiana
United Against Cancer
Louisiana has a problem…
How does TACL help?
We bring together major players in healthcare.
We find the best solutions for cancer prevention & care.
We work with health plans to determine best practices.
Who is TACL?
The Health Systems represented on TACL provide 80% of Inpatient Cancer Care in Louisiana.
The Health Plans represented on TACL provide 78% of the coverage for Louisianans.
In just two years, we’ve already seen a major impact on cancer care because of our teamwork.
Taking Aim at Cancer in Louisiana
Healthcare systems normally compete with each other. TACL provides a common ground to work together. We talk, compare data, and find fact-based solutions to problems in the system, including reducing the gaps in care between Blacks and Whites.
By influencing coverage changes within health plans, we have the opportunity to save lives through expanding access through screening, early detection, and aligning best practices for cancer treatment.
Our committee partners are our heroes.
“For the first time ever, health care plans and healthcare providers are coming together to share important information so we can decrease early death rates from cancer, and reduce the racial disparities for cancer care.”
— Terry Birkhoff, Executive Director
