The Central Georgia Cancer Coalition (CGCC) supports and builds upon existing cancer programs and services. Our mission is to strengthen programs and services by elevating cancer efforts to the national standards of the American College of Surgeons, National Comprehensive Cancer Network, and the Association of Community Cancer Centers, to reduce duplication among cancer related entities, leverage state dollars and maximize opportunities for private investment, adapt statewide efforts based on national standards to local communities, and reduce access disparities to treatment and services based on geography, race, and insurance status.
