The Community Outreach and Engagement (COE) team at Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center aims to ensure that the work and research of the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center are driven by the needs of communities across Massachusetts. Through collaborative partnerships, the COE team is committed to reducing cancer burden and increasing access to prevention and care for all Massachusetts residents. Our efforts are focused on achieving the following goals: monitoring the burden of cancer across Massachusetts communities, enhancing linkages between DF/HCC researchers and communities, facilitating access to clinical trials for all Massachusetts residents, and strengthening the impact of cancer outreach and education initiatives across the state.

We are guided in this work by leaders from communities across Massachusetts. Our Community Advisory Board is comprised of cancer survivors, community advocates, public health leaders, educators, and providers. We are committed to working with existing programs and initiatives to reduce the cancer burden and support increased access to cancer resources for all Massachusetts residents.
