OUR PURPOSE To Educate the Public To Influence Health Policy To Promote Careers In Cancer

The Beginning… On March 23, 2004, eighteen University of Houston students, sponsored by the Intercultural Cancer Council and Baylor College of Medicine, traveled to Washington, D.C. to attend the 9th Biennial Symposium on Minorities, The Medically Underserved & Cancer in Washington D.C. We hope that the combined efforts within individual councils will have a national impact.

The Structure of the Organization

Purpose and Action Through a sustained and expanding national commitment to improve the health of one community at a time, Collegiate Cancer Councils aim to: Educate the public Influence health policy Promote careers in cancer

Educate the public Educate the public about cancer prevention and the additional risks associated with health disparities Educate ourselves on existing health knowledge and practices to prevent cancer Understand the causes and pursue solutions to reduce health disparities Work with community leaders to reach at-risk populations with potentially life saving information

Influence health policy Influence health policy to reduce overall morbidity and mortality as well as health disparities. Educate ourselves on existing health policies that are known to influence public health and access to quality cancer care Understand the causes and pursue solutions to reduce health disparities through public policy Work with community leaders in local, state, and federal government to effect positive changes

Promote careers in cancer Promote careers in cancer among all students and disciplines with an emphasis on minorities and medically underserved populations. Educate ourselves on the breadth and depth of career opportunities in cancer Understand the causes and solutions of the workforce shortages and low representation of minorities in the health workforce Work with students and campus leaders to encourage careers in cancer

What We Have Done

What We Plan To Do

Cancer Facts According to the American Cancer Society: Approximately 350,000 cancer deaths in 2005 are preventable. More than 175,000 deaths will be caused by tobacco use. Scientific evidence suggests one-third of expected cancer deaths in 2005 will be related to nutrition, physical activity and overweight or obesity and are preventable. African Americans are at greater risk of cancer morbidity and mortality than any other racial or ethnic group with African American males having a cancer death rate that is 1.4 times greater than white males. African American female’s cancer death rate is 1.2 times greater. The incidence of liver cancer is two times higher in Asian American and Pacific Islanders than African Americans and the incidence rate of cervical cancer is highest among Hispanic/Latina women.

WE ARE THE NEXT STEP NEEDED WITH THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER!
