Cancer in Iowa: 99 Counties Project

Addressing local cancer rates across the state of Iowa

The Iowa Cancer Registry and University of Iowa College of Public Health, in collaboration with the Iowa Cancer Consortium, University of Iowa Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Iowa Rural Health Association, is hosting the Cancer in Iowa: 99 Counties Project to present county-specific cancer information and address community concerns in each of Iowa’s 99 counties.

Iowa has the second highest rate of new cancers in the U.S. The 99 Counties Project is a public health initiative aimed at enhancing cancer education and community engagement across the state. Reports containing information about the rates of new cancers and cancer deaths in each county compared to the state of Iowa and the U.S., as well as risk factor data from the CDC’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, will be presented to each county. There will be time allotted to listen to the questions, concerns, and ideas from community members. Information about resources to help reduce the burden of cancer will also be provided.

“The goal of the 99 Counties Project is to provide local partners with actionable cancer data specific to their county so they can address cancer concerns and promote healthier communities,” says Mary Charlton, professor of epidemiology at the University of Iowa and director of the Iowa Cancer Registry.

Representatives from the 99 Counties Project are working with Public Health Directors and health systems to schedule meetings for each of Iowa’s 99 counties. Those dates and locations (online or in-person) will be posted online when available. Check back for updates.
