The Community Outreach Program works with high-risk and underserved populations to provide both education and improved access to services. The Ireland Cancer Center offers programs on campus, and in other community locations. These programs
- Address specific issues that may prevent the underserved from seeking care
- Promote cancer prevention and detection
- Encourage behaviors that foster healthier lifestyles
The Ireland Cancer Center also sponsors several public education programs each year to address issues of interest to the community. Previous programs have explored breast, colorectal, prostate, and gynecologic cancers, as well as genetics and cancer.
