Cancer Support Community Los Angeles

The Holistic Cancer Care for Spanish Speakers project will develop and implement a Cancer 101 orientation to meet the unique needs of Los Angeles’ Spanish-speaking residents impacted by cancer—especially those who are of low income and/or have limited access to care—and build a foundation for serving other diverse, language- and identity-specific populations, ensuring that cancer resources and mental health support are available to all.

We provide education, support & community to everyone in L.A. affected by cancer, particularly through our psychosocial support groups that help to create community & a relief from isolation. As part of our multi-year strategic plan, we are focusing our efforts on extending programming to the most underserved populations, with an eye to particular challenges faced by cancer patients & caregivers of color, and those that are LGBTQ+ and have disabilities.
