Cancer Outreach

Part of UPMC Hillman Cancer Center's mission is to move cancer knowledge beyond the walls of our hospitals and into the communities we serve.

Cancer Outreach — a program of UPMC Hillman Cancer Center — works to increase the awareness of:

• Various types of cancers.
• Cancer risk factors.
• The importance of early detection and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
