Education

New Guide to Preventable Cancers Available!

A new educational booklet tailored for Indian Country is available that highlights eight cancers that can be prevented or detected early, when treatment is more successful.

This 23-page guide invites clinic staff, health educators, community health workers and community members throughout Indian Country to learn about cancer prevention and early detection—and to use this information with their families and in their communities.
