Communities of Promise

As noted in the World Health Organization document: A Conceptual Framework for Action on the Social Determinants of Health (Policy and Practice), our network joins efforts to explore and utilize strategic approaches, practices and policies to reduce unequal exposures and consequences of illness in social, economic, educational and health terms associated with socioeconomic and geographic disparities.

Complementing our regional work across our country, we partner with a diverse set of institutions and organizations to establish specific regional resource hubs called “Communities of Promise,” aimed at reducing cancer-related disparities and increasing tobacco-free living environments among underserved and vulnerable populations.
