Main Discussion Points to Use When
Promoting the MCC and the MCC Initiative
Who We Are Join the fight against cancer by becoming
a partner organization in the Michigan Cancer Consortium! We're
a dedicated group of public, private and voluntary organizations committed
to reducing the human and economic impact of cancer in Michigan.
What We Believe
The philosophy behind the Michigan Cancer Consortium Initiative:
We believe that a focused, coordinated initiative will
produce synergy and an impact far greater than the sum of its parts;
We believe that the burden of cancer will be reduced
substantially by partners working together toward common goals;
We believe that when organizations work together, they
can maximize the potential of limited health care resources and minimize
duplication of efforts; and
We believe that all residents are entitled to quality
cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and end-of-life
information, as well as culturally acceptable services.
What We're Doing Various organizations interested in cancer control have joined the
Michigan Cancer Consortium and agreed to focus their efforts on the MCC
Initiative, a unique project in which public, private and voluntary organizations
across the state are working together to achieve 10 specific cancer control
priorities.
MCC member and key partner organizations are:
Looking for new ways to make a difference and significantly
reduce the cancer burden in our state;
Taking steps to improve the quality of cancer care
that Michigan residents receive;
Focusing on their current cancer control activities
and exploring ways to enhance these efforts;
Learning what other organizations are doing and looking for new ways to work together to address the MCC Goals.
