Community Advisory Board (CAB)<\/h1>\n

\"Cropped<\/p>\n

The C-NACHE CAB acts as a coalition of collaborative partners to serve as agents of change to advocate for tribal, state and federal cancer health services across the continuum of care and for health equity legislation.<\/p>\n

The CAB will bridge C-NACHE and Arizona Native American communities located in Native nations and in urban settings to ensure the voice of community members and leaders are integrated into the strategic goals and activities of C-NACHE.<\/p>\n

The CAB will respect and embrace the cultural diversity of Arizona Native nations and communities and are united by the commitment to cancer health equity for Native Americans in Arizona and nationally.<\/p>\n
