The Georgia Cancer Summit convenes public health professionals, healthcare providers and advocates, researchers, and community organizations engaged in cancer research, control, and prevention. Co-hosted annually with various community partners and organizations, the event serves as a platform for collaboration and knowledge exchange.
The Georgia Cancer Summit assembles community organizations, academic institutions, governmental entities and industry partners to address the shared goal of reducing the burden of cancer in the state.
With the theme “Advancing Cancer Health Equity Through Evidence and Innovation,” this year's summit brought a capacity crowd to Middle Georgia State University in Macon, Ga., on Jan. 25, with a networking event the evening before. More than 125 public health professionals, health care providers, health advocates, researchers, and community organizations involved in community-engaged cancer research, control and prevention from across the state of Georgia attended the event.
