The Wisconsin Cancer Council

 

Mission Statement

 

The Wisconsin Cancer Council is a coalition of organizations dedicated to the development and coordination of a comprehensive cancer control program in Wisconsin.

The objective of the Wisconsin Cancer Council is to reduce the burden of cancer in the state of Wisconsin by:

  1. Stimulating communication between cancer-control organizations in Wisconsin.
  2. Advocating for cancer control policies, legislation and research.
  3. Developing and coordinating projects that require the interaction of various cancer-control organizations in Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin Cancer Council (WCC) was founded in the early 1980's by Dr. Paul P. Carbone, then Director of the University of Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Center (UWCCC), and Mr. Gerald Doelle, Executive Vice President of the American Cancer Society-Wisconsin Division.
