Connecticut Cancer Partnership on FB

The Connecticut Cancer Partnership is a coalition that supports the work of its members by providing a statewide context for cancer-related programming through its Cancer Plan. Members of the Partnership are drawn from the state's diverse cancer community—academic and clinical institutions, state and local government, health care agencies, industry and insurers, advocacy and community groups. We currently comprise 150 organizations and 400 individual members from across the state. All members work to support the Partnership’s vision of reducing the burden of cancer for Connecticut residents, with a special focus on the elimination of cancer-related disparities.

The Partnership, through the volunteer efforts of its committees, the Connecticut Department of Public Health Comprehensive Control Program, staff and community partners work to:
• convene cancer community partners
• educate cancer control partners
• mobilize advocates for cancer control including the area of policy, systems and environmental changes
• monitor data trends related to the burden of cancer and
• disseminate best practices to improve care across the continuum of cancer control
