About

Why OUCH

Cancer touches everyone. Even those who are not battling the disease can name a family member, friend, or community member suffering from the effects of cancer. Therefore, oncology health professionals have a unique voice in being able to raise awareness about the effects of climate change on cancer incidence and outcomes and galvanizing decision makers at all levels (individual, professional, institutional, community, policy, etc.) to act on climate change.

Action

Our goals

Our goals are to connect any and all oncology healthcare professionals locally, regionally, nationally, or internationally and to identify and promote actionable steps in climate mitigation, advocacy, and research efforts.
