Publisher Description: The Georgia Ovarian Cancer Alliance (GOCA) was formed in 1998 by a group of Atlanta area ovarian cancer patients and survivors. They met at the St. Joseph's Gynecologic Cancer Support Group. They each had their individual story, but one common element existed in each story. They knew nothing about ovarian cancer before they were diagnosed. This lack of information was the catalyst for them to begin pooling their energies and passions with the intent to bring awareness of ovarian cancer and early detection to the forefront of women's health issues. Their initial battle cry of "Awareness. Knowledge. and Action" with the desire to educate Georgia's women, of all ages, their families, and healthcare providers about the risks and symptoms of ovarian cancer is still very much the focus of GOCA today. Since the beginning, GOCA has transformed from an idea, hatched at a founder's dining room table, into a very strong state-wide based non-profit organization, led by individuals touched by ovarian cancer alongside business leaders. Through our Education & Awareness and Community Outreach Program in conjunction with a strong statewide base of supporters, volunteers, partners, and sponsors we continue to reach as many people as possible with this life saving information. |
