What is the Kentucky Cancer Consortium?                            
The Consortium is a statewide partnership of diverse organizations united to reduce the burden of cancer in Kentucky. Pooling information, ideas, skills and strategies, this partnership of organizations develops and implements cancer control initiatives that will decrease the suffering and deaths due to cancer for all Kentuckians. See our key messages.

What does the Consortium do?
The Consortium provides a common forum for like-minded organizations to take collective action. Through group consensus at committee meetings and biannual statewide KCC summits, the Consortium determines common priorities, prevents overlap, maximizes resources, and evaluates impact. Its priorities are guided by the state's Cancer Action Plan, a comprehensive blueprint for reducing cancer in Kentucky.

What do Consortium members do? 
Members assess changing cancer control needs, set priorities, participate in meetings and conference calls, and share resources and knowledge with one another. Ultimately, Consortium members do more together than they ever could by working on their own.

How do individual members stay informed?
The Consortium keeps the information flowing via face-to-face meetings, a newsletter, an electronic listserv, a Website, and other avenues, as outlines in the KCC communication Plan.

How does the Consortium fit in with the national comprehensive cancer control program?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funds and supports the Consortium as Kentucky’s comprehensive cancer control coalition. We are one of the 64 state, tribal and territorial programs participating in the national CDC program.
