New Hampshire Comprehensive Cancer Collaboration

The New Hampshire Comprehensive Cancer Collaboration (NH CCC) is part of a national effort to systematically and comprehensively address cancer control in each state through prevention, early detection, treatment, rehabilitation and palliation. New Hampshire is fortunate to have a group of national, state and local health organizations, community service organizations, cancer survivors, and individuals dedicated to implementing the NH Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan, 2010-2014.

NH CCC members include a broad spectrum of individuals working with, or affected by cancer such as: physicians, nurses, social workers, therapists, advocates, policy makers, representatives of the NH Division of Public Health Services and health insurance plans, survivors, and family members. Five workgroups are responsible for implementing the the objectives of the Cancer Plan. Workgroups include: Primary Prevention, Prevention and Early Detection, Treatment and Survivorship, Palliation and Emerging Issues. The NH CCC encourages partners to work together to maximize the use of limited resources and avoid duplication of efforts.
