Through funding and support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the GW Caner Center has released an updated Palliative Care Awareness Social Media Toolkit! Along with addressing myths and misperceptions about the purpose of palliative care, the toolkit offers tips for getting started on social media, sample messaging for Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook, and creative ideas for engaging with your audience on a variety of social media platforms like Reddit, Instagram, Snapchat and more!

The GW Cancer Center recently completed the second year of its 5-year cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to design and implement comprehensive, high-quality training and technical assistance (TAT) to CCC programs and their partners to implement cancer control activities. Our Year 02 Evaluation Report provides a summary of progress and activities to date, as well as future directions for TAT and evaluation. Read previous evaluation reports on our Publications page.

In November, the Comprehensive Cancer Control National Partnership (CCCNP) launched a new effort to assist CCC coalitions and programs in addressing health inequities in cancer. The recording and notes from the first quarterly session, held November 12, are available here. Stay tuned for information on the next Zoom session, which is scheduled for February 2021.

The Sustaining Coalitions work group 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. Notes from the November 17 check-in are available here. The next check-in will be held on December 15. Click here for Zoom call-in information.
