The American Cancer Society is conducting a new study, the Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3), which will help researchers gain important insight into factors in genetics, environment, and lifestyle that cause or prevent cancer. In order to accomplish this, we are looking for Champions who are willing to help recruit participants for the study. There are no eligibility requirements to be a Champion, but men and women who wish to participate in CPS-3 must be between the ages of 30 and 65, willing to commit to the long term study, and never been previously diagnosed with cancer.
A kick-off event will take place Tuesday, May 21st, from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm in the Modular Classroom at the Leesburg Regional Medical Center and from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm in the Sharon Morse Modular Classroom at The Villages Hospital System. The event will start with registration of Champions, followed by a one-hour program where they will receive the information necessary to help educate and recruit community members for CPS-3.
To RSVP for the kick-off, please contact Trisha Patel by phone at (407) 581-2524, or by email at
