COVID-19 & Derecho Resources
The Iowa Cancer Consortium is seeking information from Iowans and our partner organizations about the resources that are available and needed in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic and the recent Derecho natural disaster (August 2020).
Community Needs Survey
Please complete the following survey to share your thoughts with our staff and board.
Note: Support or assistance may be available. All requests will be considered on a rolling basis.
Critical Access Hospital Survey
Researchers at University of Iowa are conducting a survey of Critical Access Hospitals to learn about challenges in providing cancer care at this time and hope to use this information to be able to better support them in the future. If you work at a CAH your perspectives would be appreciated!
The survey will take about 10 minutes to complete and can be found here: https://bit.ly/cah-covid-survey
