Kentucky Cancer Consortium

Resource PlanJuly 2013

Purpose of Resource Plan

• Educate healthcare decision makers, elected officials, funders and interested Kentuckians on the potential to decrease the cancer burden in Kentucky through supporting cancer prevention and early detection as defined in the Kentucky Cancer Consortium Resource Plan.

Kentucky has a Cancer Problem

• Kentucky has the highest rate of new cancers in the U.S.

• Kentucky has the highest death rate for all cancers combined in the U.S.

Cancer Burden in Kentucky

* Note: Rates are very small, so any change in the number can appear significant. The difference in KY and the U.S. is not as large as it appears.

The Impact of Prevention

• Thousands of Kentuckians die each year from cancers that could have been prevented or found early through screening.

Working Together Toward a Solution

• Kentucky Cancer Consortium – Made up of more than 55 organizations

representing healthcare, advocacy, government, non-profit entities

• Members work collaboratively to define the financial resources needed to prevent cancers, in order to save lives and money.
