About Us – Who is behind CCRGonline?

The Colorado Cancer Resource Guide online is a collaborative effort between The Metro Denver Oncology Nursing society and the Comprehensive Cancer Prevention and Control Program with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

The Metro Denver Oncology Society (MDONS) is a local chapter of the national Oncology Nursing Society, a professional organization of oncology healthcare providers. The society promotes professional development for their members and is active in the local community. The CCRG project was started in 2002. Three members from MDONS were joined by a dedicated web designer to volunteer their time and talent to collect, compile and produce this website that gives Coloradans access to cancer resources nationally and first and fore most in our state.

The Comprehensive Cancer Prevention and Control Program (CCPC) had embarked on a mission in 2001 to produce a listing of the Cancer Prevention Programs in the state. As the state looked to expand their resource guide to include a website, the two groups, MDONS and CCPC collaborated to incorporate the two resource guides. The Comprehensive Cancer Prevention and Control Program (CCPC) is funded through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with an overarching goal to reduce cancer morbidity and mortality and increasing the quality of life of those affected by cancer in Colorado.
