Leadership and innovation

As the founders of National Cancer Prevention Day (February 4) and the National Workshop on Cancer Prevention (February 6, 2019), we are working to end half of the preventable cancers that are often treated by cancer. through education and policies. For this reason, I know that our work is particularly useful in reaching the greatest number of people by effectively teaching teachers. I also know that an essential part of this work is to let public health officials badume their responsibilities and make a difference in public health.

Although traditionally we do not consider doctors, nurses and public health professionals as teachers, they are, in my opinion, the most qualified because they have the scientific and medical background to educate their patients, their families and their families. communities. They are well placed not to intervene after the fact with metaphorical dressing, but thanks to education and community leadership, they can take advance on many public health issues, including several types. of cancer.

Our organization, formed in 2004 under the name 501c3 of the Next Generation Choices Foundation, is better known as "Less Cancer". At the time, there was no way to focus on cancer by preventing preventable cancers. At the time, it seemed like a ridiculous idea; However, experts today understand that prevention is the best solution against cancer.

This February 6th, "Less Cancer" will produce a major educational workshop for legislators around the world on Capitol Hill. The National Workshop on Cancer Prevention offers continuing medical education credits to doctors, nurses and health professionals.

Featuring more than 25 speakers on cancer prevention in five hours, the workshop covers topics such as cancer screening, disparities and inequities, chemicals, and policies and activities. defense of children's health.

The event will be marked by the President's Awards presentation to Mindi Messmer, former member of the District 24 New Hampshire House of Representatives, Associate Director of Minority Health and Disparities Health Research, Associate Dean. to health and community outreach, Professor of Oncology at Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Lucile Adams-Campbell, Georgetown University Medical Center, and Ro Khanna, Member of the House of Representatives of District 17 of California, United States.

I am confident in the educational platform "Less Cancer" and in the critical leadership we provide in education and politics. We know that cancer deaths have decreased in part because of prevention strategies. This week at Capitol Hill is entirely dedicated to cancer prevention. National Cancer Prevention Day will be held on February 4th, the Bipartisan Caucus of the US Congress on Cancer Prevention will be held on February 5th, and the National Cancer Prevention Workshop will be held on February 6th.
