The American Cancer Society is seeking applications from individuals, groups, organizations or companies who demonstrate exemplary achievement in the areas of saving lives, diminishing suffering or improving quality of life from cancer in underserved, at-risk communities. The Harold P. Freeman Service Award was developed by the Society to recognize outstanding efforts in cancer control activities. The award is named after Harold P. Freeman, MD, a past President of the Society, who placed priority on issues relating to the underserved during his presidency.
One award is presented annually in each state in the High Plains. The High Plains serves a multi-state area that includes Kansas, Hawaii, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas.
