The Community of Practice Initiative is a five-year partnership between the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to increase the capacity of hospital systems to build multi-sector partnerships to implement evidence-based and informed interventions for cancer prevention and screening.
Participating hospital systems are building a community to share best practices and lessons learned and to build an evidence base for increasing breast health equity, colorectal cancer screening, and HPV vaccinations.
The Community of Practice Initiative is at the intersection of participating hospital systems, state and local health departments, ACS, and community partners.
