  • Mission

    For nearly 100 years, the American Cancer Society (ACS) has worked relentlessly to save lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Together with millions of our supporters worldwide, we’re helping people stay well, helping people get well, finding cures, and fighting back against cancer.

    About Us

    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. The Society maintains a 24/hour 365/day/year hotline to live, well trained volunteers. The hotline helps people confronting cancer, or their loved ones, find information, get referrals to local providers, and discover support programs to assist them
