Lung Cancer Alliance

Eradicate Lung Cancer

Lung Cancer Alliance is the only national non-profit organization dedicated exclusively to patient support and advocacy for people living with lung cancer or those at risk for the disease. Lung Cancer Alliance is committed to leading the movement to reverse decades of stigma and neglect by empowering those with or at risk for the disease, elevating awareness, and changing health policy.

Our programs include the Lung Cancer Information Line, a toll-free information and referral service for people with lung cancer and their caregivers, the Phone Buddy program, a peer-to-peer support network, Lung Cancer Awareness Month, a national education and advocacy campaign, Spirit & Breath, our quarterly newsletter, and Advocacy Alert, where advocates can receive alerts to participate in or respond to important lung cancer issues.

1. Work with Congress and federal agencies to achieve this goal.

2. Help lung cancer patients, survivors, their families and caregivers become active participants in achieving this goal.

3. Launch a national public awareness campaign to change the face of lung cancer and to reduce the stigma associated with the disease.

4. Educate public policy leaders of the need for greater resources for lung cancer research.

5. Develop grassroots programs that bring volunteers and partners together to achieve coordinated campaigns for action on vital lung cancer issues.

6. Ensure that Lung Cancer Alliance has a “seat at the table” where it counts, to ensure that policy decisions and resource allocations are being made with the lung cancer patient’s interests in mind.

7. Continue to be the ultimate and most credible source of information about lung cancer.

8. Provide patient education and support for lung cancer patients and their loved ones through our Phone Buddy, Spirit & Breath, Lung Cancer Hotline, and Lung Cancer Awareness Month programs.
