Volunteer Corner
 
When BCAN’s National Volunteer Board was reorganized last fall, a new set or initiatives was defined; one being to further our mission of building awareness of BCAN within the medical community. As a starting point, the Volunteer Leadership Team, as the group is now called, decided to specifically target larger urology practices in the most populated states. Since it is impossible to reach the more than 9,000 urologists in the United States, we decided to focus our efforts on those practices serving the greatest number of patients. Our goals are to make these practices aware of BCAN’s patient focus and commitment to finding a cure and have our brochures made available to their patients. We are also requesting that BCAN be listed as a resource on their websites.
 
In the first two months of this medical outreach initiative, BCAN has sent brochures out to more than 80 practices. And we’re just getting started! A huge debt of gratitude is owed to Larry Baron, Jerry Puffer, Paul Reeves, Kathie Suter and their team members who have worked tirelessly to make this happen. We know we are making a difference. If you would like to lend a hand and join one of the medical outreach teams, please contact Allison Smith, our Volunteer Coordinator. Her email address is allisonsmith@bcan.org.
