Our Programs
The Community Impact Team has provided the community with a broad range of evidence-based cancer education, service programs, and activities serving residents of the Commonwealth and beyond for over 20 years. Through partnerships and collaborations, we foster healthy communities by assisting community-based organizations in creating and implementing cancer programs that promote awareness, prevention, and early detection.
