Monica Bertagnolli is an oncologist （腫瘤學(xué)家） at Brigham and Women's Hospital and a professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School.Growing up in Wyoming，she was well aware of the lack of health care resources in rural areas.Access to in-depth care for cancer patients is hard to get.She's worked throughout her career to change that.
   In Wyoming，there's a great distance to travel between where people live and where they can find a cancer specialist. "If you need treatments and they have to be administered every day，and if it's 120 miles from where you live，that ends up being a huge barrier to receiving the kind of care you need."
   And now Monica serves as the vice president of the Coalition （聯(lián)盟） of Cancer Cooperative Groups （CCCG） — an international network of individuals who work to improve the quality of life and survival of cancer patients by increasing participation in cancer clinical trials.
   She said， "One of the really important things is，we're trying to make sure that cancer clinical trials can get to every single patient who needs them in my own state." The coalition set up sites in northern and southern Wyoming that are able to run clinical trials.Before those trials became available，patients would usually go to Denver or Salt Lake City — a three-to-seven-hour drive.
   Monica's efforts to increase access to the health care needs of her rural Wyoming patients also include helping to develop new policies that will allow patients to participate in more clinical trials，and linking them with a regional doctor who can get them the access to the care they need.
   In addition to the clinical trials，Monica said that technology's progress like better cell phone and internet service in the mountains of Wyoming，as well as social media，has helped rural residents stay in touch with loved ones and medical professionals despite their distance.She is trying to advocate strongly for those changes to continue.
   "I still consider myself part of Wyoming and I am very devoted to making sure that patients can get access to care."
