ACS Cares™

Helping people with cancer and their caregivers navigate the cancer journey with confidence.

“ACS CARES is a resource available to everyone to help promote health equity and reduce disparities to make sure historically underserved communities and populations are getting access to the resources and care they need. This is about people feeling engaged and being a part of their improved outcome story.” - Dr. Arif Kamal, chief patient officer at ACS.

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 CARESTM (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.

TLDR bullet points:

  • Free non-clinical patient navigation mobile app
  • One-stop resource providing support for people with cancer and their caregivers
  • Helping people take the guesswork out of navigating the cancer journey
