Feasibility Study: Ensuring Sustainable Access to Independent Cancer Second Opinions

Project Objectives

1. Analyze the Current Model: Assess the costs, strengths, and limitations of our volunteer-based structure.
2. Research Comparative Models: Examine how other nonprofit second-opinion organizations operate across the United States to identify more effective or scalable approaches.
3. Explore New Service Models: Evaluate alternative structures—such as hybrid volunteer/paid systems, medical partnerships, or technology-based solutions—that maintain our independence and high-quality patient care.
4. Develop an Implementation Plan: Create a detailed set of recommendations and actionable next steps for Board approval.

Anticipated Outcomes

1. A clear, evidence-based roadmap for a sustainable service delivery model.
2. A plan to expand capacity and reach more cancer patients without compromising quality or independence.
3. Strengthened organizational sustainability and a compelling framework for future donor and partner investment.

The Managing Director will provide information and data: similar service survey, current program model, patient demographic data and more as needed.
