Partnerships

Siteman Cancer Center makes it a priority to share disease prevention and health communication research findings with the public. This dedication to community engagement has resulted in several platforms to keep people and communities in our service area and beyond aware of ways they can stay healthy and prevent disease.

Community members interested in learning more or joining a partnership can contact PECaD at 314-286-2587 or [email protected].

Partnership Groups

• Disparities Elimination Advisory Council (DEAC)
• Breast Cancer Partnership (BCaP)
• Colorectal Cancer Partnership (CCCP)
• Prostate Cancer Partnership (PCCP)
• St. Louis Regional Breast Navigator Workgroup

PECaD’s cancer community partnerships foster ongoing dialogue with community stakeholders, including individuals and community organizations in the region. The goal is to refine program strategies designed to reduce and ultimately eliminate cancer disparities. The partnerships create an avenue through which community cancer needs and priorities can then be reflected in the implementation of program activities.

Members of each partnership consist of cancer survivors and advocates, representatives from community health-care organizations, representatives of community-based organizations, and academic faculty members and staff. Together, partnership members regularly review progress and update/refine goals and projects as needed. We encourage faculty and staff within Washington University to attend partnership meetings to learn about community cancer priorities and interact with community members. This enhances the relevance and reach of research activities to community priorities and needs.

Thank you to all of our partners.
