Atlanta 2005/11/13 -As we face the aftermath of the recent hurricanes, the American Cancer Society is working to continue providing patient services and
programs in those areas affected by the storms.
Individuals in need of American Cancer Society services in the affected areas should contact our
National Cancer
Information Center at 1-800-ACS-2345. Cancer information specialists are available to answer calls 24
hours a day, 7 days a week.
If you or a family member or friend has cancer and has had to evacuate your home or treatment facility, or
if you have had an interruption to your treatment due to the recent hurricanes, you are facing challenges
getting the proper care for your cancer. We have information
that may help you make the immediate decisions you are facing to get your treatment back on schedule.
Downloadable lists of
Hurricane Resources
These documents list public resources by state. There
is also a document that lists national resources. A comprehensive document
combines national and all state resources.
We also refer you to Web sites that provide valuable national resources
to those affected by the hurricanes.
