FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 28, 2016 Contact: Kelly Sittig Iowa Cancer Consortium O: (319) 335-8816 [email protected] www.facebook.com/IowaCancerConsortium www.twitter.com/CancerIowa 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 www.canceriowa.org/awarenessmessaging.aspx. ### The Iowa Cancer Consortium is a partnership of more than 300 health care providers, public health professionals, caregivers, researchers, cancer survivors, volunteers and other Iowans who work together to reduce the burden of cancer in our state. Through collaboration, the Consortium enhances partners’ abilities to address cancer prevention, early detection, treatment and quality of life in Iowa.
