BACKGROUND:
On January 20, 1987, Supervisor McPeak recommended that the Board
of Supervisors invite all other Bay Area counties to co-sponsor a
Cancer Prevention Summit for specified purposes. The Health
Services Department was asked to plan, organize, and coordinate
the Cancer Summit in conjunction with the Internal Operations
Committee.
Our Committee met with Dr. Brunner and Marice Ashe from Public
Health on February 23 . Dr. Brunner presented the attached report
which outlines a process to be followed to plan for such a
conference. A vital part of planning for such a conference is to
have participation by each of the nine Bay Area counties.
Dr. Brunner is suggesting a conference, probably in the fall of
1987, for 60-100 participants from various levels of government,

key community leaders, labor organizations, research
organizations, and similar groups. The planning for the
conference will be closely coordinated with the American Cancer
Society and will focus on prevention and early intervention of
cancer with particular emphasis on high priority cancer issues
and populations.
We are, therefore, making the above recommendations to begin the.
planning process with participation from each of the Bay Area
counties. We are asking Dr. Brunner to make periodic reports to
our Committee beginning with April 27 . We will keep the Board
fully informed of developments.
