Connecting Communities to Cancer Care Resources
Bridging the gap between providers and individuals seeking support.
This program is proudly sponsored by the AstraZeneca US ACT on #HealthEquity Community Solutions Challenge. Through this partnership, Byrd Cancer Foundation’s Cancer Connect Program supports underserved communities by providing access to cancer education, resources, and advocacy. Together, we strive to advance health equity and shape a more equitable future for all.
The Cancer Connect Navigator Program is dedicated to helping individuals and caretakers navigate their cancer journey by connecting them to essential resources and support services. Our mission is to ensure that no one faces cancer alone, offering personalized guidance, emotional support, and practical assistance.
