Cyber-Seminar Will Examine Cancer Control at State and Local Level

Brandie Adams, Bruce Behringer, and Della Rhoades

The June 12 NCI Research to Reality (R2R) cyber-seminar will feature examples of successful cancer control coalitions that have used evidence-based public health practice to implement state cancer plans in local jurisdictions.

The seminar will explore state and local health department perspectives. Bruce Behringer of the Tennessee Department of Health and Della Rhoades of Nodaway County Health Center in Missouri will share their stories of success, lessons learned, and opportunities. In addition, Brandie Adams of the National Association of County and City Health Officials will present the association's new resource guides. These guides are designed to support local implementation of comprehensive cancer control work through local, community-based coalitions.

For more information and to register for this event, visit the R2R website, where you can watch presentations and join discussions. All R2R cyber-seminars are archived on the website a week after the presentation.
