Illinois
Initiatives to Enhance Cancer Communication Within the State Health Department and the State Cancer Control Coalition
On this page
Program Example
The Illinois Comprehensive Cancer Control Program is developing an electronic newsletter that will be sent to the more than 80 organizations
participating in the Illinois Partnership for Cancer Prevention and Control. The newsletter, which will be distributed via e-mail, will include cancer-related information from these organizations
and from programs in the Illinois Department
of Public Health (IDPH). Legislative news, grant announcements, and conference information
will also be featured.
To enhance cancer-related communication and collaboration within IDPH, the Illinois Comprehensive
Cancer Control Program has brought together departmental programs that focus on cancer and related risk factors. These programs,
collectively known as the IDPH Cancer Group, meet on a quarterly basis. The group comprises the Illinois Comprehensive Cancer Control Program, State Cancer Registry, Breast and Cervical Cancer Program, Division of Oral Health's Oral Cancer Initiative, Prostate and Testicular Cancer Program, and Tobacco Prevention
and Control Program.
