Colorado Skin Cancer Task Force
The Colorado Skin Cancer Task Force is a sub-committee of the Colorado Cancer Coalition. Its goal is to reduce skin cancer rates through education and awareness efforts in communities across Colorado. Members include local business leaders, public health educators, cancer prevention researchers, dermatologists, and other medical professionals.
Colorado Department of Education
The Colorado Department of Education's Coordinated School Health Program consists of eight components: health education, physical education, health services, nutrition services, health promotion, counseling, environment, and family and community. Its goal is to help invested stakeholders create favorable conditions in which families, health care workers, the media, religious organizations, community organizations that serve youth, and young people themselves might work together to maintain and improve the well-being of young people. In an effort to meet this goal and address Colorado's high skin cancer rates, Colorado's Coordinated School Health Program has funded a number of local schools and districts to create and carry out sun protection policies.
