MISSION - WHAT WE DO

We strive to promote education and disease prevention by informing the public in the state of Tennessee about HPV and cervical cancer.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

YOU AND ME AGAINST HPV! This program primarily target's youth from the ages of 13-26, we attempt to educate young people about HPV virus and how you can protect yourself from contracting cervical cancer. We go on college campus and talk with men and women about this virus and we engage college programs to help us get the message out to other college students. This is a new program just started for 2011. SPREAD THE WORD! About Cancer Clinical Trials CCCT is in partnership with Vanderbilt, TSU and Meharry to help at risk communities understand about cancer clinical trials and how they can participate. Sadly only 3% or less of African Amercans participate in these very important trials. CCCT is trying to increase that number so more lives can be saved with better treatment for cancer. To date CCCT has done 3 presentations getting the word out to over 150 women and men. Corporative Ministry at Second Missionary Baptist Church As of June 18, 2014 CCCT has partnered with a local church to create there first ever wellness hub. This venture will include bringing two other churches as partners to better serve the surrounding neighborhood. Pastor Barlow wants the church to become a place where various health programs will be offered Pastor Barlow also decided to concentrate on two major health problems in his area; Diabetes and cervical cancer. We are also going to be helped in this venture by Dr. Elizabeth Williams, Director over TSU Public Health department. MeHarry Roundtable Breast Cancer Study C.C.C.T. is now working along side this organization to not only bring awareness about breast cancer to at risk communities of color but cervical cancer as well. In doing so we are taking a look at the total woman and the over all health from top to bottom.
