Commission on Cancer (CoC)
The Alliance’s Commission on Cancer (CoC) Network brings together representatives of Minnesota’s Commission on Cancer hospitals and clinics; the American Cancer Society; and the Alliance to facilitate achievement of shared objectives around quality cancer care. CoC facilities treat a large percentage of newly-diagnosed cancer patients, making them ideal partners to improve cancer prevention, treatment, research, education, support services, survivorship and end of life care.
Members:
- Provide professional development opportunities
- Encourage the sharing of best practices
- Make ACS programs and information readily available to CoC facilities working to achieve quality cancer care standards
- Engage network participants and their host institutions in Alliance activities and initiatives
- Actively involve CoC hospitals and clinics in the local implementation of CancerPlan Minnesota objectives
