We work to reduce cancer risk factors and promote cancer screenings, especially for groups affected by disparities, which are differences in health across different geographic, racial, ethnic and socioeconomic groups.  

Each year in Kansas, more people are diagnosed with cancer, and many die from it, making it a leading cause of death in Kansas. The cost of cancer care continues to rise. Research shows that more than half of cancer deaths could be prevented through healthy choices, screening and vaccinations.
