The American Cancer Society is the leading cancer-fighting organization with a vision of ending cancer as we know it, for everyone. We are the only organization working to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
While most people know us for our research, we do so much more. We attack cancer from every angle. We promote healthy lifestyles to help you prevent cancer. We research cancer and its causes to find more answers and better treatments. We fight for lifesaving policy changes. We provide everything from emotional support to the latest cancer information for those who have been touched by cancer. And we do it all 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
In our Sacramento Region, we are working to accomplish...
Transportation & Lodging
Reduce the barriers of transportation and lodging to provide equitable access to care for people with cancer and their families.
Prevention & Screening
Increase prevention awareness and overall access to/utilization of cancer screenings to help detect cancer early, when it’s most treatable.
Patient Navigation
