Preface A year with many highlights. Among them, we have been awarded a grant for the research in lung cancer, we have hosted the Patient and Relatives Summit for the whole of Denmark, and we have opened a new ward for patients with palliative needs. In 2020, we will continue developing Vejle Hospital’s profile as the Patients’ Cancer Hospital. Our patient satisfaction is high, thanks to a highly engaged, performing workforce and a patient-centred culture. Many new and exciting projects has been launched, both as clinical trials and as new practices. As our research facili- ties have developed, the cancer hospital is delivering uality research of international quality. In 2018, Program Plan II replaced It will provide the fra- mework for the strategic work of the patients’ cancer hospital until 2022. Even more strategic initiatives are in the pipeline. A primary focus in 2019 was on inequality in cancer, a topic we will continued to focus on in 2020. Our initiatives in 2020 are aligned with our organizational priorities: Patient-experienced quality Professional quality Organizational quality These priorities helped us set our agenda for the activities and strategic efforts we supported in 2020 for the Patients’ Cancer Hospital. I would like to thank everybody for their engagement and cooperation in the Steering Committee in the past year, and I look forward to next year.
