MA HPV Coaltion /Oral HPV Taskforce
The MA HPV Coalition began in 2015 as part of a CDC grant awarded to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Today, the Coalition is maintained by founding partners Team Maureen and Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
The past 5 years have shown that we have a greater impact when we work together. Our objectives are to: ​Engage and coordinate with groups and individuals working in HPV prevention
Educate medical & dental providers using evidence based strategies
Educate the community about the HPV cancer connection
Advocate and fundraise for HPV-related cancer prevention work
Support people and organizations doing HPV-related cancer prevention work across MA
Be a resource and model for collaboration across specialties to effect change
The Coalition also has three subcommittees that meet monthly--the Oral HPV Task Force, the Health Equity Workgroup, and the Cervical Cancer Work Group. If you have questions or are interested in joining the Coalition, email us at HPVCoaliton@gmail.com
