Northwest Ohio Breast Cancer Assessment

Susan G. Komen for the Cure’s promise is to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to discover the cures. To meet this promise, Affiliates rely on the information obtained through the Community Profile process to guide them in the work they must accomplish in their communities. The Community Profile is the assessment process used by affiliates every two years to understand the state of breast cancer in their service areas.  A quality Community Profile guarantees that all Komen Affiliates are focused in mission and non-mission work that is targeted, effective, and non-duplicative.  The Komen Northwest Ohio Affiliate will use the Community Profile to:

• Drive inclusion efforts throughout the Affiliate service area
• Identify and establish focused granting priorities  
• Identify and establish focused educational priorities  
• Strengthen sponsorship efforts – “Tell the Story”
• Drive public policy efforts
• Establish directions of marketing and outreach
• Align both strategic and operational plans
