Cape Atlantic Coalition for Health

Cape Atlantic Coalition for Health The Cape Atlantic Coalition for Health at Shore Medical Center is dedicated to improving health outcomes while reducing Cancer mortality rates.

Mission:
The Cape Atlantic Coalition for Health is dedicated to improving health outcomes while reducing the chronic disease burden for the Cape Atlantic Region by using effective evidence based strategies and programs. Goals:
-Engage healthcare providers and the general public to partner on evidence/practice based community-clinical interventions to reduce chronic disease.
-Implement effective po

licy, system and environmental changes to improve public health.
-Enact the New Jersey Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan in Atlantic and Cape May County. History: The coalitions are an initiative by the New Jersey Department of Health, Office of Cancer Control and Prevention. The coalitions were developed in 2004 in each county after a needs assessment was completed for each county. The county coalitions were charged with enacting the New Jersey Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan at the local level and focused predominately on Cancer Prevention and Early Detection initiatives. In 2012, the county coalitions were merged into regional chronic disease coalitions. In the summer of 2012, Atlantic Healthy Living Coalition and Cape May Chronic Illness Coalition merged together to form the Cape Atlantic Coalition for Health. There are ten coalitions in New Jersey in which every county is represented. The focus continues on cancer projects to reduce cancer burden, but also includes other chronic diseases and highlights healthy lifestyle behaviors. Cape Atlantic Coalition for Health is a regional chronic disease prevention coalition funded by the New Jersey Department of Health, Office of Cancer Control and Prevention. Our purpose is to reduce the state’s cancer burden and improve health outcomes for people with, or at risk for, cancer and other chronic diseases in Atlantic and Cape May counties.
