Community Advisory Board
Our Mission: To advise the MCW Cancer Center and help address cancer disparities in eastern Wisconsin through authentic community engagement and research in cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment and survivorship.
An important goal of the MCW Cancer Center is to identify and address cancer disparities and the cancer prevention and control needs of our catchment area. To fulfill this goal, the cancer center developed a community advisory board. The MCW Cancer Center’s Community Advisory Board (CAB) serves as an essential link between the cancer center and the community, promoting the equitable and consistent exchange of information and ideas about ways to address the cancer burden faced by those living in eastern Wisconsin.

CAB Meetings, Documents and Accomplishments
The CAB is a group of dedicated volunteers committed to eliminating the terrible burden of cancer health disparities in the city of Milwaukee. After learning that Milwaukee’s African Americans develop cancer at much higher rates, and are much more likely to die from cancers, the CAB acted to understand and address these disparities. The CAB drives, guides and participates in community-engaged research, cancer prevention and control activities, and clinical care efforts that have a major impact on the health of the people of Milwaukee, and the results are amazing.
