AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY
The American Cancer Society is the nationwide community-based
voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major
health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing
suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service.
How Your Generous Donations Make a Difference
Thanks in part to the generous contribution to the American Cancer Society
Relay For Life, the Society is…
Helping people stay well
 Our telephone counseling service, the American Cancer Society
Quitline, doubles a person’s chances of quitting tobacco for good.
 We develop guidelines for recommended cancer screenings and
nutrition and physical activity, so people know what tests they need to
find cancer early and how to help prevent the disease.
 We provide tips, tools, and online resources to help people set goals
and stay motivated to eat healthy and maintain an active lifestyle.
Helping people get well
 Our phone lines are open every minute of every day and night to help
connect people with answers they need. Each year, we provide
information, help, and support to the nearly one million individuals


who call us at 1-800-227-2345. In addition, our Web site, cancer.org
offers access to the latest information and news on cancer and helps
people locate programs and services in their area.
Through our clinical trails matching service, we connect patients with
thousands of different treatment options.
With sites at hospitals and treatment centers across the country, our
American Cancer Society Patient Navigator Program provides one-onone guidance to people facing cancer through every step of their
journey.
Finding cures
 We’ve had a hand in nearly every major cancer breakthrough of
the last century, including confirming the link between cigarette
smoking and lung cancer, establishing the link between obesity
and multiple cancers, developing drugs to treat leukemia and
advanced breast cancer, and showing that mammography is the
most effective way to detect breast cancer.
 We’re the largest private funder of cancer research in the United
States.
 We fund researchers with cutting-edge ideas, often early in their
careers. Of the researchers chosen for Society funding, 42 have
gone on to win the Nobel Prize.
Fighting back
 The majority of Americans are now covered by a smoke-free law,
thanks in part to the efforts of the Society and our nonpartisan
advocacy affiliate, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action
Network.
 We helped pass state laws ensuring that people have access to and
coverage for lifesaving cancer screenings and treatments.

We have helped uninsured, underinsured, and low-income women
get breast and cervical cancer screening tests and follow-up
treatment since 1991.
At the local level
 American Cancer Society Cancer Resource Center, located at
CHRISTUS St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, is there to help
cancer patients and their families find local resources.
 Breast Cancer Support: Reach to Recovery volunteers are breast
cancer survivors themselves. Volunteers can meet with you faceto-face or over the phone to give you and your family the support
and information you need to cope with a breast cancer diagnosis.
 Look Good…Feel Better is a free program that teaches people in
active cancer treatment ways to help with the appearance-related
side effects of treatment.
 Lodging during treatment sometimes it can cost a lot of money to
stay far from home for cancer treatment. The American Cancer
Society may be able to help through our Lodging Program find
free, overnight housing for out-of-town patients while they are
being treated for cancer.




Road to Recovery is a program made up of volunteer drivers who
use their own cars to drive patients to their treatment appointments
and back home again.
Children’s Camp, the American Cancer Society sponsor of Camp
Enchantment, a week long camp for children with cancer living in
New Mexico.
All of our programs and services are free of charge.
Volunteer, help out at events, reach out with support to others, or

The New Mexico Department of Health’s Breast and Cervical Cancer Early
Detection Program offers free annual exams for women who are eligible.

annual exams include a clinical breast exam, Pap test and age-appropriate
screening mammograms. Women 30 to 39 are eligible for a clinical breast exam
and Pap test; women 40 and older are eligible for a Pap test and screening
mammogram. If you think you – or someone you know – may be eligible, call
our bilingual toll-free number for more information. Call 1-877-852-2585.
