About Cancer Support Community Arizona

Imagine you are facing one of life's most challenging journeys cancer. And while you have a medical team for treatment, you need more than medicine to truly heal. But right now, you feel overwhelmed and isolated because you don't know where to turn for support beyond your clinical care. Cancer is more than a health challenge it brings emotional, financial, and social burdens that deeply impact entire communities. At Cancer Support Community Arizona (CSCAZ), we believe no one should face cancer alone.

We opened our doors in 1999 as an Arizona-based nonprofit that offers no-cost social-emotional services to anyone impacted by cancer of any type and at any stage. Our services are available at no charge to cancer patients, cancer survivors, caregivers, family members, and children of parents facing cancer because our vision is that everyone impacted by cancer receives the support they want and need. CSCAZ utilizes a Five-Pillar program design, featuring professionally led support groups, resource navigation, education, healthy lifestyles, including nutrition workshops, expressive arts, and movement classes, and social connections.

Our 12 staff members, a fully engaged Board of Directors, and 570 volunteers assist approximately 2,000 diverse cancer patients, survivors, family members, and caregivers annually. All our programs are evidence-based, led by licensed and certified professionals, and available in English and Spanish. Services are provided in person in the greater Phoenix area, the Verde Valley, and Flagstaff, and virtually via livestream to residents in every corner of Arizona.
