Comprehensive Cancer Control Program Advisory Committee

The Advisory Committee is composed of Tribal leaders, community members, Tribal clinic staff, SPIPA staff, and Tribal and community partners from across SPIPA’s five consortium Tribes. Members are united by a shared commitment to cancer prevention, early detection, and survivor support.

Honor cancer survivors and those lost to cancer by joining in discussion about cancer prevention. Members help speak to the needs and concerns of their Tribe around cancer control, and plan policy, system, and environmental change projects that reduce cancer incidence and mortality in their communities.
