Awareness and Education Plans

We are excited to be new members of the AZ Department of Health Services Comprehensive Cancer Control Coalition (AzCCC). Barbara Kavanagh will represent multiple myeloma and help raise awareness and provide information to other cancer services and agencies in Arizona . She will also participate on the Research and Quality of Life Committees to work with others in the cancer field to improve services and funding for all cancer programs. For more information on AZCCC, please visit their website at: www.azcancercontrol.gov.

Another important step for AzMN is their membership in the newly formed Alliance of Arizona Non-Profits. The mission of this organization is to enhance the well-being of all people and communities in Arizona by serving, supporting, protecting and promoting Arizona 's nonprofit sector. We hope that by joining together with other nonprofits, we can collaborate with other groups interested in helping cancer patients and their families and thus be a more effective resource for our own myeloma patients.

We look forward to other collaborations and outreach activities in the coming months, including new relationships with Native American groups, African American groups, and Hispanic American groups.
