About VTAAC

Vermonters Taking Action Against Cancer (VTAAC) offers the power of collaboration to what otherwise might be a lonely fight.

Created in 2005, VTAAC is responsible for putting the Vermont State Cancer Plan into action by preventing overlap and directing resources to where they matter most in our state. Our activities are focused on reaching our ultimate goal: reducing the burden of cancer in Vermont.

VTAAC is a growing network of groups and individuals that speaks with one voice about reducing cancer risk, detecting cancers earlier, creating better access to quality cancer treatment, and improving the quality of life for cancer survivors.

We hope our site will be a resource for those seeking more information on cancer-related activities throughout the state.

For more information, please reach out to: Hanna Snyder, VTAAC Coordinator at coordinator@vtaac.org.

Our Mission

VTAAC provides a forum for collaboration, engagement and sharing of resources  for individuals and organizations concerned about cancer in Vermont.

Our Purpose

VTAAC exists as a place for stakeholders to meet regularly. The Vermont State Cancer Plan guides the activities of the coalition.  VTAAC maintains a structure to select specific projects to work on and complete as a coalition. Also, members can describe what their respective organizations are doing, and coalition members may decide to contribute in some way. Results are reported back to the coalition. Sharing of information will promote cancer projects, events, services, referrals and education.

Anyone interested in reducing the burden of cancer is welcome to participate in VTAAC activities. There are no membership fees. The majority of VTAAC members represent organizations involved with cancer care in Vermont.
