Who does the Cancer Liaison Physician contact at the American Cancer Society?
A. When establishing first contact with an office, you should ask to speak with the Vice President or Supervisor of the local office. Once introductions are made, you will most likely be assigned to work with a cancer control representative. This field staff will be your primary contact for partnership and implementation of programs and services at the facility. This is also the staff member that the facility may choose to invite to cancer committee meetings. If you are unsure of where and whom to call, a list of ACS Division Staff is listed on our Web site at http://www.facs.org/cancer/coc/physresource.html. These are the contacts at the Division level that primarily work with the State Chairs, and those who oversee the relationship and activities between the CoC and ACS at the state level. They will be able to connect you to someone at the community level.
