Task Forces Jump Into Planning Work


The SD Cancer Coalition's three task forces are setting action plans for the year ahead, and Coalition members who have not yet joined a group are welcome.


Task forces work to implement objectives within one or more particular priority areas, meeting quarterly via Teams and once in-person at the annual SD Cancer Coalition Fall Meeting.


Click here to learn more about this year's task forces, including HPV, Early Detection Health Equity, and/or Palliative Care, or complete the member agreement form for coalition members and select the group of your choice.

The Palliative Care Task Force works on priority setting for 2023-2024 at the Cancer Coalition Fall Meeting in October.
