Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We are demystifying the cancer diagnosis. We give life saving information to enable cancer patients to make smarter and more informed decisions. Additionally we provide great ideas and direction for those cancers that are preventable.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our strategy is to empower the cancer patient and provide them with all the resources they need to fight cancer. We also tell our clients about all the other cancer charities that are available to support them.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have a dynamic web site and provide online and phone support to cancer patients from mainly the USA but we also include information to people from all over the world.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
When individuals and families discover that they have cancer, they often become immobilized. Well meaning doctors often do not have the time and resources to explain everything that a patient needs. As long as there is cancer, there will be a need to help people navigate this horrible disease. in 2018 we supported nearly 1.5 million people requiring more info about their disease and needing additional resources to fight cancer.
