VOICES of Black Women is a pivotal long-term study led by the American Cancer Society to better understand how and why Black women are disproportionately impacted by health conditions like cancer. The study will focus on the lived experiences of Black women so that we can strive for enhanced health outcomes for generations to come. At CACV, we are committed to eliminating health disparities across the Commonwealth. We support the American Cancer Society’s vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.

About us
The mission of the Cancer Action Coalition of Virginia (CACV) is to reduce the burden of cancer for all persons living in Virginia utilizing the Virginia Caner Plan to provide a forum for collaboration, education, and advocacy. Our key program is to develop the Virginia Cancer Plan every 5 years which provides a roadmap to addressing the burden of cancer in the Commonwealth. The first plan was developed in 1998. This plan is a framework that presents priority objectives, goals, and strategies to reduce cancer risk, eliminate preventable cancers, and minimize cancer deaths and disabilities. Cancer is too big a problem to fight alone. CACV fosters relationships between healthcare systems, non-profits, community organizations and individuals throughout Virginia to implement the goals and objectives of the plan.

Today is World Hepatitis Day. This is a global initiative to educate people about viral hepatitis, promote prevention, and encourage testing and treatment. Viral hepatitis is inflammation of the liver that is caused by a virus. If left untreated, hepatitis infections can damage the liver. A long-term infection with hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus can increase the risk of getting liver cancer. The best way to prevent hepatitis B is to get vaccinated. Treatment for hepatitis C cures more than 95% of patients. Talk to your doctor about getting tested and/or vaccinated. Learn more about liver cancer: https://ow.ly/JUVp50SAiXw
