About Us
CancerInfoNet.org is part of a Web-based
training program created by the Cancer Information Service (CIS) of
New York and funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to
teach consumers and healthcare professionals how to access
information on the Internet to learn more about cancer. As part of
the "Bridging the Digital Divide Project: Your Access to Cancer
Information," our Web site was created to provide a tailored,
easy-to-use interface to credible, trustworthy cancer resources and
promote the Internet as a way to locate this information.
The
Digital Divide Project was implemented through a partnership between
the CIS and five community-based organizations in Harlem: the Harlem
YMCA, the New York Urban League, Playing 2 Win's Harlem Community
Computing Center, Verizon Education and Technology Center, and North
General Hospital. Free, 1-hour, hands-on workshops, in English and
Spanish, were offered to consumers and health care professionals at
the computer centers of these organizations. When our project was
completed in October 2001, CancerInfoNet.org was adapted for the
independent use of individuals or groups.
We encourage you to use the site in the way that bests suits your
needs. Please share your comments or feedback with us at nycis@mskcc.org.
