Share Your Organization's Success
A great way to get connected with the WI CCC plan is by sharing your organization's cancer related projects, activities, and successes.
The WI CCC has started a Statewide Inventory Catalogue of these projects, activities, and successes. Organizations such as the UW Center for Tobacco Research and Invention and the Wisconsin Women's Health Foundation have already contributed.
If you have a project you want to contribute to this catalogue, simply complete the Statewide Program Inventory form and then check back to the website periodically to see it posted.
For more information or other ways to contribute to the Statewide Inventory email us at wicancer@uwccc.wisc.edu. |

It is the intent of the WI Comprehensive Cancer Control Program to contract with up to three health care systems in Wisconsin to develop and implement a colorectal cancer screening event to increase screenings within their service area for a targeted underserved population.
This project will strengthen partnerships between healthcare systems and the communities and people they serve and provide examples for other health systems in the state interested in how to increase their rates of colorectal cancer screening among underserved populations. View the full grant application here.
Grant applications are due September 1, 2010.

Improving Hmong Cancer Reporting
The Wisconsin Cancer Reporting System (WCRS) in collaboration with the Wisconsin United Coalition of Mutual Assistance Associations (WUCMAA), the largest state-wide Hmong organization, and the Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (WCCCP) conducted a survey in the summer of 2008 to learn about health care facilities experience and current practices in reporting Hmong cancer cases to WCRS. The survey also resulted in the creation of a pamphlet to help educate Hmong about race self-identification when being admitted to facilities for health care. The pamphlets will be distributed at the 12 regional WUCMAA offices, and is available here.
