What We Do

The American Cancer Society is the nationwide, community-based, voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service.

We are in communities across the country providing services to local cancer patients and families, working to educate the community on cancer prevention and early detection and raising funds to continue funding life-saving research.
