CancerCare of Long Island

CancerCare is a national nonprofit organization that provides free professional support services to anyone affected by cancer: people with cancer, caregivers, children, loved ones, and the bereaved. CancerCare programs – including counseling, education, financial assistance and practical help – are provided by trained oncology social workers and are completely free of charge.

CancerCare of Long Island was founded in 1978 to ensure that Long Island residents had full access to all CancerCare programs. CancerCare of Long Island provides individual help to more than 15,000 people each year.

CancerCare of Long Island is generously supported by United Way of Long Island.
