ACS Patient Programs and Services

The American Cancer Society offers programs and services to help you during and after cancer treatment. Below are some of the resources we provide. We can also help you find other free or low-cost resources available.

24/7 Cancer Helpline

Our 24/7 cancer helpline provides support for people dealing with cancer. We can connect you with trained cancer information specialists who will answer questions about a cancer diagnosis and provide guidance and a compassionate ear. 

Call us at 1-800-227-2345

  • Schedule a video chat

Lodging During Treatment

Getting the best care sometimes means cancer patients must travel away from home. We help make this difficult situation easier for both cancer patients and their families through our Hope Lodge program and through lodging grants to local healthcare systems partners.

  • Find a Hope Lodge
  • Become a Hope Lodge Volunteer

Rides to Treatment

If transportation to treatment is a concern, we may be able to help.  In some communities, our Road To Recovery volunteer drivers provide rides to patients who have no way to get to their cancer treatment. We also provide transportation grants to local healthcare systems partners so they can provide transportation assistance to their patients.

  • Get a ride to cancer treatment
  • Become a Road To Recovery volunteer
  • Road To Recovery Rider Guide

Connecting Cancer Survivors

The Cancer Survivors Network provides a safe online connection where cancer patients and caregivers can find others with similar experiences. You can participate on discussion boards, join a chat room, and build your own support network.

  • Visit the Cancer Survivors Network

Breast Cancer Support

If you have breast cancer, you may want to connect with someone who knows what you’re feeling – someone who has “been there.” Through our Reach To Recovery website and app, you can match with a trained volunteer who is a breast cancer survivor.  

  • Get support for breast cancer
  • Become a Reach To Recovery volunteer

Hair Loss and Mastectomy Products

Cancer and cancer treatment can alter a patient’s appearance. Our “tlc” Tender Loving Care program offers affordable wigs, hats, scarves, and mastectomy products.
