About Louisiana Cancer Founation
The Louisiana Cancer Foundation for Research and Education is a nonprofit health service organization whose programs are designed to encompass all phases of the cancer experience. From prevention through education and research, to free cancer screenings for early detection, we try to teach individuals the importance of taking care of their own health in a responsible way. However, regardless of what we do or do not do, people still develop cancer. Knowing that when this happens, it can be one of the most difficult experiences of a person’s life, we offer cancer patients support programs for both their emotional needs as well as their financial needs.
