Who We Are: This year, more than 3,000 people in the Greater Baton Rouge area will hear the words “You have cancer.” For each of them, their families and friends, it’s comforting to know that there are services, programs and people they can rely on at Cancer Services of Greater Baton Rouge. We are a local, independent non-profit United Way Member Agency established in 1959. Since that time, we have been dedicated to improving life for those living with cancer. While there are organizations that conduct cancer research or offer medical treatment, it is our goal to help fill in the gaps during and after a cancer diagnosis. How We Can Help: We do this through free services and programs such as: Nutritional supplement assistance Prescription assistance Transportation assistance to-and-from medical appointments Wigs, mastectomy bras and prostheses in our Wig Boutique Medical supplies and durable medical equipment Books, pamphlets, DVDs and internet assistance in our Library Help with filling out medical forms and financial applications through our Healthcare Navigation program Links to other relief agencies Monthly support groups, counseling services and children’s programs View our IRS Form 990 through Guidestar.
