Get Involved
During the past five years Mountains of Hope concentrated on capacity-building priorities such as ensuring continued broad participation from the cancer control community; maintaining and growing an effective network of cancer control partners; and strengthening the bonds among West Virginia communities, the Coalition, and its members.
The Coalition seeks to enhance communication throughout the state's cancer community; to maximize scarce resources; to identify gaps in services and resources; and to identify common challenges in the fight against cancer. In seeking to coordinate cancer control activities statewide, Mountains of Hope will focus its ongoing efforts on the development and maintenance of cancer control activities in the Mountain State, while encouraging effective partnerships among cancer control advocates and their allies.
