.Georgia “Day At The Capitol"
Making Cancer a Top Priority

Come join the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) volunteers, patients, caregivers, and survivors as we converge on our state capitol to emphasize the need to make cancer a priority in Georgia.  There are many policies and decisions made by our state lawmakers that have a profound impact on reducing cancer.  Tobacco control, prevention and early detection, and access to care, are all critical issues to eliminating cancer as a major health problem.  Join us to rally around the hope that we can and will do more in our state to reduce the cancer burden.
