The Iowa Cancer Plan addresses cancer health disparities and promotes health equity in Iowa.

Health disparities exist in cancer services among every population in Iowa, including those based on geography, age, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, and culture. The implementation of every strategy in the plan must counter associated cancer-related disparities and inequities so that every Iowan can expect the best outcome possible.
