The summit is part of Methodist's effort to raise awareness of HPV and improve vaccination rates. In 2020, Methodist was selected to be a part of the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) Hospital System Capacity Building Initiative (HSCB) as a Communities of Practice (COP) site. The goal of the initiative is to engage health systems across the country to deepen partnerships and develop new and innovative ways to reach three goals: increasing HPV vaccination rates, addressing breast health equity and improving colorectal cancer screening rates. Methodist is one of six HPV vaccination COP sites, and its participation is funded by a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through 2023. In total, 21 health systems have been selected as COP sites, with Methodist being the first in Nebraska.
