Our Mission
The Wisconsin Ovarian Cancer Alliance is dedicated to overcoming ovarian cancer. Our mission is threefold:
-
Education
First and foremost, WOCA pledges to create awareness of early warning signs that may be indicative of ovarian cancer. This means educating individuals, the medical community and organizations to recognize ovarian cancer's subtle symptoms. In so doing, WOCA hopes to increase early detection and improve treatment methods. -
Support
Second, WOCA works to support Wisconsin women and their families in their battle against ovarian cancer. This includes developing and distributing educational material, promoting support systems and creating networking groups. -
Advocacy
Finally, WOCA's membership supports the advocacy efforts of the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance to secure additional funds and advance research toward a cure.
