The North Dakota Cancer Coalition is made up of partners from across the state who work together with the common goal of reducing the incidence and death of cancer among North Dakotans. North Dakota Cancer Coalition partners worked together to write North Dakota's Cancer Control Plan.
Any organization or individual interested in working to reduce the incidence and death of cancer among North Dakotans may join the Coalition at no cost. As a North Dakota Cancer Coalition member, partners also have the option of receiving resources, at no cost, for their cancer prevention and control implementation efforts.
