NCC Travels I-80 Educating Nevadans on Cancer

Every March the team from Nevada Cancer Coalition hits the road, traveling along Interstate 80 to attend the popular Humboldt General Hospital Health Fair in Winnemucca and the Elko Community Health Fair in Elko. We love attending these events because they give us an opportunity to reconnect with community members, share the latest information on cancer prevention and early detection, and visit with partners we don't often get to see in-person.
