About us
The mission of the Cancer Action Coalition of Virginia (CACV) is to reduce the burden of cancer for all persons living in Virginia utilizing the Virginia Caner Plan to provide a forum for collaboration, education, and advocacy. Our key program is to develop the Virginia Cancer Plan every 5 years which provides a roadmap to addressing the burden of cancer in the Commonwealth. The first plan was developed in 1998. This plan is a framework that presents priority objectives, goals, and strategies to reduce cancer risk, eliminate preventable cancers, and minimize cancer deaths and disabilities. Cancer is too big a problem to fight alone. CACV fosters relationships between healthcare systems, non-profits, community organizations and individuals throughout Virginia to implement the goals and objectives of the plan.
