In 2022, the catchment area of the Fred Hutchinson/University of Washington/Seattle Children's Cancer Consortium (the Consortium) grew from 13-counties in Western Washington State to include all 39 counties in Washington. Widening the catchment area provided new opportunities for the Consortium to monitor the cancer burden, identify cancer-related health disparities, use a bidirectional approach to develop cancer focused programming, and facilitate research in clinical and community settings. In this commentary, we describe the exploratory process of catchment area change led by the Consortium's Office of Community Outreach and Engagement and new initiatives that followed that growth.

Lateral epicondylitis is a common cause of elbow pain and disability, resulting from degenerative tendinosis of the extensor carpi radialis brevis origin at the lateral epicondyle.
