American Cancer Society, New Chamber Member

The American Cancer Society (ACS) has been leading the fight against cancer since 1913, working to improve the lives of patients and their families through research, advocacy, and direct patient support. With a mission to ensure everyone has a fair and just opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer, ACS addresses all aspects of the cancer journey through funding groundbreaking research, advancing equitable access to care, and providing trusted, evidence-based information to communities nationwide.
 
Here in Hawaiʻi, ACS is committed to reducing barriers to care for local families, particularly those who must travel for treatment. Through programs like free lodging at our Hope Lodge in Honolulu, transportation assistance, and a 24/7 cancer helpline, ACS helps ensure that no one faces cancer alone. These patient-centered services are especially critical for neighbor island residents, where distance and cost can be significant obstacles to receiving timely care.
 
Guided by a bold goal to reduce cancer deaths by 50% over the next 25 years, the American Cancer Society continues to mobilize volunteers, partners, and supporters across Hawaiʻi and beyond. By combining compassionate support with cutting-edge research and impactful advocacy, ACS is working to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
