• Ensuring patients access to high quality healthcare
• Creating a positive climate for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma and myeloma research 

The Society endorses:

• Increased federal funding for biomedical research
• Collaborative public-private sector research efforts
• Patient protection legislation that guarantees all healthcare consumers certain fundamental rights, including the right to care in a clinical trial

To advance its policy goals, the Society encourages its volunteers, friends and other supporters to contact their elected representatives - in Congress and in state legislatures - to share with them the impact that leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma have on millions of Americans each year and to urge responsible policies that will address the serious burdens of these diseases.
