CancerAid was founded in 2015 by oncologists looking to empower people to better manage their care and take back control of their diagnosis.
The founding members of the CancerAid team noticed that empowered and supported patients achieved better health outcomes. These experiences helped shape what we offer at CancerAid today: behavioural change and education programs that enable organisations and people affected by cancer to thrive.
We are changing the lives of people impacted by cancer across the United States and Australia.
