Getting people involved is key to making a difference.

This is a group effort!

Mountains of Hope is comprised of like-minded public health professionals, community advocates, cancer survivors, and researchers who wish to reduce the burden of cancer in the state of West Virginia (WV).

The Coalition is a way for all of us to come together to achieve our collective goals. When we work together, we can share resources, expertise, and experiences, and use that collective information to create best practices that benefit our state.

We encourage everyone with an interest in cancer prevention and control to join the Coalition and bring their unique perspectives and abilities to the group effort of reducing the burden of cancer in WV.

Let’s Talk Membership

Here’s what you’ll be a part of and experience by joining the coalition:

Statewide Networking

The Coalition is comprised of over 200 individuals from all over the state who have a connection to cancer and who desire to work together to improve cancer outcomes across the state. Join with like-minded, passionate stakeholders to accomplish the work you would like to see thrive in West Virginia.

Access to Educational Resources & Professional Development

The Coalition provides and promotes a variety of professional development and educational opportunities through expert speakers at membership meetings, promotion of national partner webinars, and overarching cancer updates.

Engage in Community Cancer Control

The Coalition’s work is in the community and for the community. We strive to implement evidence-based interventions and policy, system, and environmental changes that will have direct, positive impacts on West Virginia communities and cancer-related health outcomes.

Policy Influence

The Coalition’s policy consultant provides information on current legislation and suggests areas of need the Coalition can play a role in at the policy level.

Leadership Opportunities

The Coalition has several opportunities for leadership that include general Coalition leadership and subcommittee leadership. These positions allow individuals to facilitate efforts that help the coalition achieve its goals.
