How Can You Help?

Thank you for your interest in the New York State Cancer Consortium. The Consortium is the network of organizations and individuals who are involved in implementing the New York State Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan.

The New York State Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan is the result of collaborations among organizations and individuals working in cancer control to coordinate activities, maximize resources and achieve desired cancer control outcomes. The Plan was developed with the participation of stakeholders throughout the state and the collection of input via community forums and surveys. The Plan has gone from the development phase, to the work group phase, and into local implementation of Plan priorities.

To continue the critical work undertaken by the Consortium, we welcome stakeholders from across the state. Whether you have a personal or professional interest in cancer control, are involved in work with a specific cancer or a broad-based issue faced by all people with cancer, work in a small community with a specific population or are part of a state-wide or national group, there is a role for you to play. You can begin by filling out our membership application where you can sign up for a Standing/Program Committee that addresses your particular interests and expertise within the cancer spectrum. You will have access to our bimonthly newsletter, the NYSCC Chronicle, providing information on what the NYSCC is doing. We will inform you of cancer-related events that are going on throughout the state, including: training opportunities, conferences, meetings, etc. Legislative happenings will be shared along with ways that you and the people you serve can affect change on a statewide level. Strategies, goals and objectives of member organizations will be shared. As a member, you can network in a much larger area, using the website, "The NYSCC Chronicle" and the NYSCC Facebook page to share your news and view the news of others.

With your help, we can make a difference in New York State. We can increase the number of New Yorkers working together, reducing cancer and saving lives.
