Community Partnerships
How can I partner with M. D. Anderson to develop a cancer education program for my community or organization?
The Public Education Office partners with worksites, retailers, religious organizations, churches and other community-based
organizations to disseminate cancer information or implement cancer education programs. The majority of our programs focus on ways people can incorporate healthy behaviors into their daily routines to reduce their risks for developing cancer.
If you are interested in collaborating with M. D. Anderson, contact us between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, at 713-792-3363 or send an email to publiced@mdanderson.org.
