The mission of the Cancer Action Coalition of Virginia (CACV) is to reduce the burden of cancer for all persons living in Virginia utilizing the Virginia Caner Plan to provide a forum for collaboration, education, and advocacy. Our key program is to develop the Virginia Cancer Plan every 5 years which provides a roadmap to addressing the burden of cancer in the Commonwealth. The first plan was developed in 1998. This plan is a framework that presents priority objectives, goals, and strategies to reduce cancer risk, eliminate preventable cancers, and minimize cancer deaths and disabilities. Cancer is too big a problem to fight alone. CACV fosters relationships between healthcare systems, non-profits, community organizations and individuals throughout Virginia to implement the goals and objectives of the plan.
