Community advisory boards
To address the specific cancer needs of each community we serve, Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center engages community advisory boards made up of citizens of diverse backgrounds. Board members advise our cancer experts and help prioritize cancer activities, such as research, prevention and clinical care.
With community advisory board (CAB) partnerships, we are addressing specific needs in our communities in Arizona, Florida and the Midwest. Board members review Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center's strategic plans, make public health recommendations and influence health policies to ensure they address community needs.
Community advisory boards also help implement effective solutions in each community. Board members help with public education in areas such as prevention and screening. They support community engagement efforts, so more perspectives are considered.
Together with the engaged citizens that make up our community advisory boards, we are reducing the burden of cancer for our diverse communities and beyond.
