Comprehensive Cancer Control Coalitions Advancing Health Equity
The Comprehensive Cancer Control National Partnership (CCCNP) is launching a new effort, designed to assist CCC coalitions and programs in addressing health inequities in cancer. The initiative will specifically focus on:
- How a coalition can advance health equity through CCC plan update processes and CCC plan implementation and
- How a CCC coalition can look at its operations through a social justice and equity lens
Please join us on November 12 at 3pm ET for the first quarterly Zoom session. Here is the Zoom information to access the call:

The Sustaining Coalitions Work Group of the CCCNP hosts a 30-minute check-in by Zoom every third Tuesday at 4 pm ET for CCC coalitions and programs to share their questions and solutions related to sustaining coalitions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Every quarter, however, the CCCNP hosts a one-hour meet-up on a special topic. On October 20, the meet-up focused on
engaging partners to address rural health disparities. Guest presentations and summary notes are available
here. The next check-in will be held on November 17. Click
