Community Partners
The Wilmot Community Cancer Action Council (CCAC) is empowered to inform research priorities and develop opportunities to address cancer disparities. Members come from a wide variety of community-centered groups, including public health departments, healthcare systems, school districts, non-profit organizations, advocacy groups, and community- and faith-based organizations.
Four priority working groups have been identified by the CCAC: community-driven research, rural outreach, primary prevention, and patient and survivor resources.
If you’re interested in having your voice heard, consider joining us in our efforts. Harnessing community strength is critical to success.
Please contact Pamela Bailie for more information.
