Michigan Against Cancer: State of Michigan Projects and Programs
Demonstrating Capacity of Comprehensive Cancer Control Programs to Implement Policy and Environmental Cancer Control Initiatives
The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) Cancer Prevention and Control Section is working to implement policy and environmental changes for primary, secondary, and tertiary cancer prevention strategies through funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The policy interventions are focused on community, organizational, and state levels to:
- decrease tobacco use,
- improve physical activity and nutrition,
- increase screening rates for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers, and
- improve survivorship programming to reduce the risk of recurrent or new cancers.
