The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society helps patients who are dealing with
leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and melanoma to improve their quality of
life and to find the information they seek about their diagnoses and
conditions. Founded in 1949, they have
invested more than $360 million for blood cancer research with the aim of
finding a cure for these deadly diseases.
They offer a wide range of services. Their Information Resource Center (IRC) provides treatment information and has information specialists on staff who can speak with callers five days a week. They offer free materials about disease, treatments and support and can help patients to find their local LLS chapter. They have medical interpretation services in more than 20 languages, ensuring that people from all backgrounds receive the cancer support and information they need.
These are a few of the many services offered by The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. With donations from individuals and groups, such as the NIR Group and managing partner Corey Ribotsky, they can reach out to cancer patients and offer outstanding education and resources to those in need.
