What is CCC?

There are multiple private and public agencies in Colorado that focus on cancer prevention and control or that serve segments of Colorado's citizens. The need to form collaborative partnerships by coordinating and enhancing the activities of the various agencies resulted in the formation of the Cancer Prevention and Control Plan Advisory Committee in 1993, now called the Colorado Cancer Coalition. The Colorado Cancer Coalition uses the Adobe Icon logic model to direct and evaluate outcomes.

The Colorado Cancer Coalition meets to formally review current Colorado Cancer Plan priorities, discuss policy issues, educate one another about existing programs, and create programmatic partnerships where gaps in service exist. Structure, roles and responsibilities of members and staff, and plans for identifying new members for the Colorado Cancer Coalition are delineated in the Adobe Icon By-Laws.

Through their efforts, they developed a statewide cancer prevention and control plan (Colorado Cancer Plan). The Colorado Cancer Plan is the foundation for the Comprehensive Cancer Program's activities.

In 2000, the Colorado Cancer Coalition established "Goals for the Year 2010," which led the effort to effort to update the Colorado Cancer Plan for 2005.

Subcommittees were formed to assist with the implementation of the proposed activities:

  • Cancer Plan Task Force
  • Surveillance and Evaluation Task Force
  • Colorado Cancer Conference Steering Committee
  • Health Disparities Task Force
  • Quality of Life/Palliative Care Task Force
  • CWCCI Advisory Committee
  • Colorectal Cancer Task Force
  • Breast Cancer Task Force
  • Prostate Cancer Task Force
  • Skin Cancer Task Force
  • Ovarian Cancer Task Force
