About

The American Cancer Society (ACS) is a nationwide, community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem. Founded in 1913, the ACS leads the fight for a world without cancer through groundbreaking research, education, advocacy, and patient support.

With a presence in every community, the ACS funds and conducts innovative research to better understand, prevent, and treat cancer. It provides vital services and resources to patients and caregivers, including 24/7 support via its helpline, free lodging through Hope Lodge® facilities, transportation assistance, and local programs. The organization also promotes prevention and early detection through public education and champions policies that improve access to care.

The American Cancer Society is committed to ensuring that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer—no matter who they are or where they live. Through the power of volunteers, partnerships, and passionate supporters, ACS continues to save lives and create hope for millions impacted by cancer.
