Toolkits & Other Resources
Mountains of Hope has partnered with WVU Cancer Institute to create toolkits that focus on a variety of cancers and communities. These toolkits are useful for patients, health professionals, healthcare organizations, hospitals, community organizations, faith communities, and survivorship groups. They include valuable information about prevention and screening efforts for their respective cancers. These resources are helpful in promoting and increasing cancer awareness.
Within the toolkit are items designed to help participating organizations reach their specific audience quickly and efficiently.
George Washington Cancer Center
Cancer awareness month toolkits with evidence-informed communication strategies, pre-written Tweets and Facebook posts, and other awareness-related tools and resources.
Providing Oral Healthcare Coverage in Cancer Care
Cancer Related Oral Healthcare Coverage White Paper
Proactive coverage for medically necessary oral health services can:
-Improve cancer survival rates.
-Reduce post‐treatment disability caused by cancer or cancer treatment side effects.
-Improve cancer survivors’ lifetime earnings by increasing their ability to afford treatments that allow them to return to work without diminished productivity.
-Reduce debilitating out-of-pocket expenses related to cancer treatment for cancer survivors, their families, and the everyday taxpayer.
-Reduce private-payer and state‐funded insurance costs for health care services associated with cancer treatment complications and the long‐term costs of chronic disease management.
