About UCAN

The purpose of UCAN is to reduce the burden of cancer in Utah by bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders to develop, implement, and evaluate the Utah Comprehensive Cancer Prevention and Control Plan (State Cancer Plan).

The Utah Cancer Action Network (UCAN) is Utah’s comprehensive cancer control coalition.
Since its inception in 2001, UCAN has worked collectively to ensure continued progress with comprehensive cancer issues across Utah. UCAN provides many opportunities for collaboration among coalition partners through activities designed to address the many facets of cancer prevention and control.
The coalition meets once per quarter to report on events and activities and to provide updates on current cancer issues.
UCAN is funded by the Utah Department of Health (UDOH) through a federal grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
UCAN membership is comprised of a diverse, professional group of stakeholders from across the state. Stakeholders represent a variety of groups and interest areas, including state and local governments; private and nonprofit organizations; academic institutions; researchers; physicians; cancer survivors; caregivers; patients and advocates.
UCAN is led by an Executive Committee who oversees the coalition activities and determines coalition priorities.
