Eastern Washington: Community Action Network of Eastern Washington (CANEW)

The  Community Action Network of Eastern Washington (CANEW) started in 2022 and is a group of individuals representing community-based organizations working together to improve cancer health outcomes for residents in Eastern Washington.

CANEW is facilitated by The Fred Hutch/University of Washington/Seattle Children’s Cancer Consortium’s (Consortium) Office of Community Outreach and Engagement (OCOE), based in Spokane. 

Members provide insight from their lived experiences and organizational roles to facilitate understanding of community-specific cancer prevention and control needs. As a group, CANEW highlights community feedback and priorities, shares resources, collaborates on projects to support sustainable health and cancer care programs, and builds capacity for community-driven research collaborations.
