Cancer Support Community: No One Has to Face Cancer Alone

A Charity Navigator Four-Star Charity, Cancer Support Community (CSC) is an international non-profit organization dedicated to providing support, hope, and education to people affected by cancer so that no one has to face the disease alone. CSC was formed in 2009 following the union of The Wellness Community and Gilda's Club Worldwide, two of the foremost cancer support organizations. Cancer Support Community completes the cancer care plan and enhances patient care by providing necessary but often overlooked services such as support groups, education, counseling, and healthy lifestyle programs.

One of the largest providers of cancer support services in the world and likely the largest employer of psychosocial oncology mental health professionals in the US, Cancer Support Community offers a broad range of personalized services and education as well as the highest quality emotional and social support to cancer patients, survivors, families, and caregivers. CSC's services are available through a network of community-based centers, community oncology practices, hospitals, and online.
