Combat Cancer TA Upcoming Sessions
The Combat Cancer Technical Assistance (TA) project is designed to improve Iowa’s approach to cancer through building a hub-and-spoke network aimed at expanding cancer support of hospitals statewide and keeping care local for Iowans in rural communities.
We welcome and encourage attendance from all Iowa groups who support rural cancer prevention and care including: rural hospitals, critical access hospitals, rural primary care clinics such as Federally Qualified Health Centers, Rural Health Clinics, independent practices, oncology providers and cancer centers, behavioral health and substance use providers, public health departments, community-based organizations and nonprofits, pharmacies, aging and disability service organizations, Community Action Agencies, rural coalitions, and other relevant healthcare and social service entities involved in cancer prevention, screening, treatment, or survivorship.
These sessions will be live in-person or virtual events. For all on-demand courses, past or recorded sessions, tools, and templates, please click here.
