About Us
In 1999 the NPAIHB was the first Tribal organization to receive a CDC Comprehensive Cancer Grant, from which the Northwest Tribal Comprehensive Cancer Program was created. NTCCP provides technical assistance to tribes on tribal action plans for local cancer activities, resource information, Kiki the inflatable colon, cancer data and cancer education training through a variety of venues. The Northwest Tribal Comprehensive Cancer Program envisions cancer-free tribal communities by taking an integrated and coordinated approach to cancer issues in collaboration with NPAIHB member tribes.
Coalition Goals
