Organizations, Societies or Groups Give Support and Help Patient with Lung Cancer

Lung Cancer Alliance is the only national non-profit organization dedicated solely to providing support and advocacy for people living with or at risk for the disease.

Our mission is to lead the movement to reverse decades of stigma and neglect by empowering patients, elevating awareness and changing health policy.

Our vision is to reduce lung cancer mortality by at least 50% by 2020.

Founded in 1995, our first priority and founding hallmark is to meet the needs of lung cancer patients and those at risk. As the largest lung cancer advocacy organization in the world, we work tirelessly to improve outcomes, eliminate stigma and secure public health research dollars.

The National Lung Cancer Partnership is the only lung cancer advocacy organization founded by doctors and researchers working together with survivors and advocates to increase lung cancer awareness and research funding.

Headquartered in Madison, WI, the Partnership supports a nationwide network of grassroots lung cancer advocates through its programs. The Partnership has official state chapters in Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

Our mission is to decrease deaths due to lung cancer and to help patients live longer and better through research, awareness and advocacy.

Lungcancer.org is a program of CancerCare, which helps individuals and families better cope with and manage the emotional and practical challenges arising from cancer. CancerCare services—for patients, survivors, loved ones, caregivers, and the bereaved—include counseling and support groups, educational publications and workshops, and financial assistance. All CancerCare services are provided by professional oncology social workers and are offered completely free of charge. To speak directly with a CancerCare social worker, call 1-800-813-HOPE (4673).

Founded in 1944, CancerCare is a national nonprofit organization that helps more than 100,000 individuals and families each year, and receives more than one million visits to our websites. In 1998, CancerCare founded lungcancer.org as part of our ongoing programs for people with lung cancer. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men and women, and we have developed a wide range of programs to meet the needs of the more than 200,000 people a year who are diagnosed with this disease.

The goal of lungcancer.org is to be a source of support and information for our lung cancer patients and their loved ones. In addition to this website, you may also utilize CancerCare's free professional supportive services.
