ACS CARES™
If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with cancer, deciding what’s next can be overwhelming. ACS CARES™ (Community Access to Resources, Education, and Support) is the only app that equips those facing cancer with curated content, programs, and services to fit their specific cancer journey.
The ACS CARES mobile app provides people with cancer, their families, and caregivers an easy, free way to:
- Access personalized, quality cancer related information that updates as you age, as your situation changes, or as new information becomes available.
- Speak directly with American Cancer Society cancer information specialists when you have questions day or night, 365 days a year.
- Find reliable information on addressing important topics such as emotional health, finances, transportation, and dependent support.
- Connect virtually with trained community volunteers who share the same cancer experience and background including diagnosis, location, military status, race and ethnicity.
- Receive in-person support from clinic volunteers at pilot locations.
