Social Media Messages for Cancer Prevention Month and World Cancer Day
The Iowa Cancer Consortium, the American Cancer Society and the Iowa Department of Public Health are working together
to make it easier for their partners and the public to communicate about important cancer-related issues. These
organizations are jointly releasing social media messages and images that can be used to prompt discussions and promote
awareness of important cancer topics.
February is National Cancer Prevention Month, and Feb. 4 is World Cancer Day. Download pre-written social media
messages for these observances at http://bit.ly/Feb2016SocialMedia.
The messages are appropriate for individual, business, and organizational social media accounts and other forms of
communication and are downloadable in a Word document so that individual pieces can be copied and pasted directly into
various communications tools.
The messages are available to anyone and may be edited and shared freely. The coordinating organizations hope that
making such a tool available broadly will encourage sharing of accurate information that can help the public be informed
and take action to reduce the burden of cancer in Iowa. View message sets on other cancer topics at
