Office of Community Outreach & Engagement

Our projects are conducted by researchers from Fred Hutch as well as our Consortium partner institutions, University of Washington and Seattle Children's. We also partner with external research teams.

Partnering with community members, especially those who are disproportionately affected by cancer, at every stage of the research continuum provides opportunities for community members and researchers to learn from each other while building trust based on the shared goal of improving cancer outcomes. 

We work with individuals and organizations across the state on projects to reduce health disparities by raising awareness about cancer prevention and screening. Projects include planning events, co-hosting workshops, sharing resources, and more! 

Our partnerships also include coalition members across the state. By highlighting and sharing regional community feedback and priorities, coalitions support sustainable cancer care programs and build capacity for research collaboration. Together, we work toward listening to community voices, experiences, and expertise to reduce cancer disparities for residents in WA.
