Cancer Care Services serves thousands of individuals in our community impacted by cancer annually by supporting cancer patients, caring for caregivers, and empowering survivors. Cancer Care Services was founded in 1946 when Fort Worth physicians observed the non-medical challenges that low-income cancer patients faced while undergoing treatment, such as loss of health insurance, lack of transportation to treatment, and the inability to afford prescription medications. Since 1946, Cancer Care Services has been continuously providing financial and emotional support services to cancer patients, caregivers, and survivors in Tarrant County. We serve individuals of all ages, cancer types and income levels. All programs and services are provided at no cost to clients. Cancer Care Services is a registered 501(c)(3) community benefit organization and all funding to provide services are raised locally; there are no government contracts or insurance reimbursements.Cancer Care Services' collaborative nature and social work navigation model have brought tremendous gains to clients and to the community as a whole. Our programs are an innovative means of optimizing patient access to care, as well as providing support to patients and the healthcare professionals who deal with systemic challenges on a daily basis. We enable patients to receive the treatment support they need and enhance the community's capacity to care for and help sustain underserved cancer patients and their families.
