AI is already shaping how patients, caregivers, and clinicians find and understand health information. The harder question: who makes sure that information is accurate, trustworthy, and grounded in lived experience? That question drove yesterday's @MilkenInstitute panel, "Patient Advocacy in the Age of AI, Data, and Digital Trust." Our CEO, @AnjeeDavis, joined fellow patient leaders to explore how patient organizations can embrace what AI makes possible, take on its risks directly, and serve as anchors of trust for the communities we serve. For the #colorectalcancer community, the stakes are personal. When someone looks up a symptom, compares screening options, or researches treatment, the answer they find can shape what they do next. They deserve information they can trust and understand. Thank you to moderator @dariustahir (@KFFHealthNews) and panelists Donna Cryer @DCPatient (Light Collective), Nasha Fitter (Citizen Health; @Foxg1Research), Randall Rutta ( @NHCouncil), and Bill Lawrence (Datavant) for a sharp, forward-looking conversation. 💙 Find information you can trust with ChatCRC, the first and only AI tool for colorectal cancer patients: chatbot.fightcrc.org

Fight CRC's Genetics and Family History Advisory Council worked alongside nearly 150 advocacy organizations, medical societies, and experts to secure the code. It will help researchers identify people with Lynch syndrome in health data and better understand screening, care, and outcomes.
