Mission Statement
The Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute Community Outreach and Engagement (COE) Program works to advance the Institute’s mission to reduce the burden of cancer in Arkansas. We do this by working closely with local communities to expand cancer screening, education and research that supports better cancer care, cancer prevention, control, and survivorship.
Prevention & Screenings
Screening means checking your body for cancer before you have symptoms.
