In 2022, the catchment area of the Fred Hutchinson/University of Washington/Seattle Children's Cancer Consortium (the Consortium) grew from 13-counties in Western Washington State to include all 39 counties in Washington. Widening the catchment area provided new opportunities for the Consortium to monitor the cancer burden, identify cancer-related health disparities, use a bidirectional approach to develop cancer focused programming, and facilitate research in clinical and community settings. In this commentary, we describe the exploratory process of catchment area change led by the Consortium's Office of Community Outreach and Engagement and new initiatives that followed that growth. We hope that by sharing the ongoing, data-driven community engagement approach in the Consortium's current, statewide catchment area, our experience will be of value to other cancer centers looking to engage with communities and develop bidirectional partnerships in new areas.
2022年，弗雷德·哈钦森癌症研究中心/华盛顿大学/西雅图儿童癌症联盟（以下简称“联盟”）的服务区域从华盛顿州西部的13个县扩大到了华盛顿州的全部39个县。服务区域的扩大为联盟提供了新的机会，以监测癌症负担、识别与癌症相关的健康差异、采用双向方法制定以癌症为重点的项目，并促进临床和社区环境中的研究。在这篇评论中，我们描述了由联盟社区外展与参与办公室主导的服务区域变化探索过程以及在这一增长之后开展的新举措。我们希望，通过分享联盟目前在全州范围内的服务区域中正在采用的数据驱动型社区参与方法，我们的经验将对其他希望与社区互动并在新领域建立双向伙伴关系的癌症中心有所帮助。
