The 4th Annual Meeting of the Connecticut Cancer Partnership was held on September 11, 2007, at the FourPoints Sheraton in Meriden. The meeting, entitled “Comprehensive Cancer Control: The Power of Collaboration”, offered a unique forum for networking and exchange of ideas on comprehensive cancer control planning for Connecticut.
