Georgia initiative to mobilize partnerships for prevention and action for cancer, tracking, and registration (georgiaimppact) - the georgia department of public health (DPH) seeks funding under CDC-RFA-DP22-2202, to continue operation and expansion of a comprehensive and coordinated approach to inform policy, systems, and environmental change to prevent and control cancer and increase equitable health outcomes across the state of georgia. As such, georgia's project includes high quality and equitable breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services, statewide cancer coalitions working to plan and implement cancer control priorities identified in georgia's five-year cancer plan, and surveillance programs to monitor, analyze, and report cancer burden across the state. In implementing this approach, DPH proposes work under the following three priority areas: national breast and cervical cancer early detection program under this priority area, georgia's breast and cervical cancer program (bccp) provides access to timely breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services throughout the state to georgia women residents. Services are available for women with limited annual income, those who are uninsured and underinsured, and women aged 40-64 for breast cancer and 21-64 for cervical cancer. The bccp implements health systems changes, evidence-based interventions, and patient navigation services to increase access to cancer screenings and reduce health disparities. National comprehensive cancer control program under this priority area, DPH administers the georgia comprehensive cancer control program (gcccp) which oversees the implementation of the statewide cancer plan, carries out programmatic activities, and convenes the necessary statewide partnerships essential to reducing cancer-related morbidity and mortality across georgia. DPH works with a statewide cancer coalition to leverage resources to plan and implement evidence-based strategies to promote the primary prevention of cancer; support cancer early detection efforts, address the needs of cancer survivors; and promote health equity. National cancer registry program under this priority area, DPH administers the georgia cancer registry program (GCR) to collect newly diagnosed cancer cases that were diagnosed and/or treated in georgia. The GCR analyzes and disseminates cancer incidence and mortality data to improve knowledge on cancer burden in georgia and facilitate the implementation of cancer control activities and evidence-based interventions. In accordance with CDC-RFA-DP22-2202, georgia's proposal as presented focuses on addressing the national cancer burden through the following healthy people 2030 goals (c-01, c-02, c-03, c-04, c-05, c-06, c-07, c-08, c-09, c-11, and c-R01).
