SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Accept this report from the Internal Operations Committee on
the status of planning for the Bay Area Cancer Prevention
Summit.
2 . Request the Assistant Health Services Director--Public
Health to keep the' full Board of Supervisors appraised of
plans for the' Bay Area Cancer Prevention Summit on a
bimonthly basis.
3 . Remove this item as a referral to our Committee.
BACKGROUND-
On July 21, 1987, our , Committee reported to the Board on the
status of planning for the Bay Area Cancer Prevention Summit and
asked that the Assistant Health Services Director Public Health,
Dr. Wendel Brunner, brief our Committee on the outcome of the
initial planning committee meeting which was scheduled for July
16 . Dr. Brunner presented the attached report to our Committee
on July 27 .
It seems clear that the health staff from the State, the other
Bay Area counties, and related organizations are enthusiastic
about the prospects of a Bay Area Cancer Prevention Summit. The
initial planning committee meeting went well and the Conference
.is now being planned for early 1988 . Dr. Brunner is confident
that the conference can be financed cooperatively by the Bay Area
counties, industry in the Bay Area, and grants from the State and
Federal governments. Planning seems to be well underway and we
agree with the direction it is taking. Therefore, we believe
that there is no longer a need for our Committee to follow this
planning as long as Dr.+ Brunner provides periodic reports to the
full Board.
We look forward to a unique, exciting, and productive conference
of professionals in cancer prevention who can begin to address
what needs to be done ,to alter both public policy and personal
behavior to prevent further increases in the incidence of cancer.
