Collaborating to Conquer Cancer in West Virginia

Mountains of Hope connects partners who want to reduce the burden of cancer – together. 

A statewide coalition working together toward a Healthier Future for all West Virginians.

Mountains of Hope (MOH) is a statewide coalition of organizations and members working together to reduce the burden of cancer in the Mountain State.

We help build partnerships, both statewide and at the community level. We collaborate to make connections and find resources for the greatest impact on cancer health outcomes in our state.

We do this by implementing evidence-based cancer prevention, early detection, and quality of life strategies outlined in the WV Cancer Plan.

The Cancer Plan is a roadmap with priority areas, measurable objectives, and suggested strategies that guide us in our efforts.

From Our Chair

Being a part of MOH has connected me with professionals around the state that I otherwise would not have met. I have become a better leader because of service to the Coalition. I began as a subcommittee chair for several years and now serve as Chair of the Coalition. I highly recommend membership to anyone working in the cancer field or that serves cancer patients in any capacity.
