CARE Fund Population Health Care Survey Supports Washington Cancer Consortium

The Fred Hutch/University of Washington Cancer Consortium is now serving the entire Evergreen state.

Starting Jan. 1, the Cancer Consortium’s catchment area grew to include the entire state of Washington, an addition of 26 counties, 2.3 million people, including several Indigenous tribes. Scientists within the National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center will now, in addition to their many national and international research collaborations, begin to expand their regional research, engagement and outreach to include all residents of the state.

The Office of Community Outreach & Engagement (OCOE) is currently conducting a needs assessment and stakeholder interviews for the additional 26 counties. It is also conducting a population-based health care survey, funded by the Andy Hill CARE Fund, to learn more about the current health landscape across the state.
