    About

    The mission of the American Cancer Society is to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, ensuring everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer. Additionally, they aim to save lives, celebrate lives, and lead the fight for a world without cancer.


    In the Hudson Valley several FREE cancer screening events are being held for no or low insurance communities.  Our 800# is open 24/7/365 with a person to speak to no matter what time, day or night.   We help drive survivors to their treatment with our Road to Recovery program and transportation grants to local healthcare partners.   Our Hope Lodge is open in NYC for survivors and caregivers for a free place to stay during treatment.   Lots of resources are around to help our survivors including an extensive survivor network to help newly diagnosed survivors.
