Save the Cancer Services Program in New York State

Maintain the Cancer Services Program

The Cancer Services Program Partnerships (CSPs) provide a critical service to New Yorkers in need. The program offers breast, cervical and colon cancer screenings to low income, uninsured and underinsured individuals. Governor Cuomo's 2012 budget proposal would maintain the current level of funding.


Below are a series of documents for volunteers and CSP partnership staff who are organizing around the "Save CSP" effort.
