The HSCB National Advisory Committee (HSCB NAC) was an invited group of industry leaders that represented a variety of organizations from across the country. The analyses and recommendations of advisory committee members played an important role in helping the Hospital System Capacity Building Initiative (HSCB) efficient and effective.
HSBC NAC members provided an important link between the public, the ACS, and its Communities of Practice (COP) sites. The information that advisory committee members provided about community/industry needs and opinions had a profound effect on COP sites and the overall ACS hospital systems strategy that led to improved cancer control priorities and identification of population health needs.
We are grateful for the engaged and committed HSCB NAC members who shared their time, knowledge, and expertise for the benefit of the HSCB initiative.
