If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with cancer, deciding what's next can be overwhelming. The American Cancer Society can help with ACS CARES (Community Access to Resources, Education, and Support), a new patient navigation support program that connects people with quality curated information and one-on- one support.

With ACS CARES, you can: • Access personalized, quality cancer-related information that updates as you age, your situation changes, or new information becomes available. • Connect one-on-one with trained ACS volunteers who match your shared cancer lived experiences including diagnosis, location, military status, race, ethnicity, and others. • Get reliable information on how to address important topics such as emotional health, finances, transportation, dependent support and more. • Speak to American Cancer Society cancer information specialists when you have questions day or night, 365 days a year.
