Information

Agenda Item

Discuss and take appropriate action on resolution designating the month of November, 2009 as "Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month" in Williamson County.

Background

As we are all very aware, pancreatic cancer is the deadliest cancer and the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. There have been no significant improvements in early detection, treatment methods, or survival rates in the last 30 years. With this deadly disease striking so close to the Williamson County family, it is especially important to increase awareness about pancreatic cancer and support research into early detection, causes, and effective treatments.
