American Cancer Society¶
The American Cancer Society provides information, support, and resources for patients, survivors, and caregivers throughout the cancer journey.1
Helpline and Support¶
The American Cancer Society provides a 24/7 cancer helpline at 1-800-227-2345.1 Trained specialists answer questions about cancer and connect callers with resources and services.1
ACS CARES (Community Access to Resources, Education, and Support) is a patient and caregiver support program that connects people with quality curated information and one-on-one support.1
Transportation and Lodging¶
Road To Recovery volunteers provide rides to patients who have no way to get to their cancer treatment.1
The American Cancer Society Hope Lodge program provides lodging to help when cancer treatment is far from home.1 Lodging expenses can present a significant financial barrier to receiving cancer treatment, and financial barriers contribute to disparities in cancer outcomes.1
