The Iowa Environmental Council and The Harkin Institute announced the launch of a new initiative that explores the relationship between environmental risk factors and cancer rates in Iowa. The initiative combines a rigorous review of existing academic research about environmental risk factors and their sources with a statewide campaign to listen to, understand, and amplify Iowans’ own lived experiences with cancer. All summer long, we're travelling throughout Iowa to hear from Iowans.

Have you or your family been impacted by cancer? Join us to: 

hear a short presentation about cancer and health data in your county;
learn about a new project that explores the links between cancer and environmental risk factors;
share your own story and listen to others’ stories.

Attendance is free and open to the public, but registration is required for all attendees:
