On July 24, Dr. Joe Thompson participated in a panel discussion at the Board of Directors meeting of the American Cancer Society Mid-South Division in Louisville, Kentucky.  The panel focused on the impact of the new Affordable Care Act on access to care and treatment for cancer patients across the Mid-South's six states.  Other panelists included Dr. Thomas Fenter, Chief Medical Advisor, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mississippi, and Elizabeth Johnson, J.D., Kentucky's Commissioner of Medicaid Services.

 "We were honored to have Dr. Thompson share his time and perspectives with our Board members," said Lisa Roth, Chief Executive Office of the American Cancer Society Mid-South Division.  "He has been the architect of many progressive health reforms in Arkansas, and we hope to continue to work with him as we enter this new era."
