Our Mission
Our mission is to identify and reduce the burden of cancer through education, screening, outreach and population research within our catchment. Our goals are to:
- Reduce disparities in cancer, across the cancer care continuum, from education and screening through end-of-life and survivorship.
- Improve cancer care delivery through health services, outcomes, dissemination and implementation research.
- Engage communities across Wisconsin in bi-directional engagement that allows for community-tailored outreach and targeted research strategies for all research at Carbone Cancer Center.

Outreach Program
- We staff and house the Wisconsin Cancer Collaborative. The WI Cancer Collaborative independently organizes over 150 organizations and individuals that work together to develop, implement and promote a statewide approach to cancer control. The Cancer Collaborative develops and writes the State Cancer Plan, which guides cancer prevention and control activities across Wisconsin.
