ABOUT VERONIKA PANAGIOTOU
Veronika Panagiotou, PhD was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma a few days after celebrating her 25th birthday. Ten years later, she uses her cancer diagnosis and the knowledge she has gained through the process to empower other cancer survivors to tell their stories and support their advocacy.Veronika currently serves as the advocacy and program manager at the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship (NCCS). She supports over advocates that are a part of the Cancer Policy and Advocacy Team (CPAT). She empowers and educates patient advocates on the most pressing policy issues facing quality cancer care to facilitate their engagement in public policy advocacy. She has a long history of being an advocate with NCCS. Veronika attended her first CPAT Symposium in 2017, and she shared her story of how access to insurance through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) saved her life. In 2020, she shared her story as we advocated for paid leave for cancer survivors during the pandemic. She spoke at the 2021 CPAT Symposium in June about her experience meeting with and building ongoing relationships with her members of Congress. She recently shared her experience as a patient at an NCI scientific workshop, Cancer-Related Emergency and Urgent Care: Prevention, Management, and Coordination.
