Lung Cancer Connection

Our Vision: To foster action and advocacy to advance the care of lung cancer patients. Our Mission: To raise awareness, increase patient and family support and advocate for lung cancer prevention, early detection and research. To turn our mission into reality we focus on: - Providing support, information and hope to lung cancer patients and their families. - Soliciting increased funding for research, such that donation levels are comparable to those of other common cancers. - Bringing awareness to the public to help reduce the stigma associated with lung cancer so that all impacted by the disease are consistently treated with dignity and respect. - Educating the public, medical treatment providers and support networks about lung cancer's devastating toll on thousands and the need for prevention and early screening. - Supporting and creating awareness for legislation that advocates for lung cancer prevention and treatment initiatives.
