CancerCare of New Jersey
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 New Jersey was founded in 1982 to ensure that New Jersey residents had full access to all CancerCare programs. CancerCare of New Jersey provides individual help to more than 11,000 people each year.
