Louisiana Foundation for Cancer Care Mission Statement and

History of Assisting Cancer Patients in Acadiana

Our nonprofit mission is to provide support, assistance, and educational

programs to cancer patients, families, medical professionals and

community to promote healthy cancer survivorship.

The foundation assists cancer patients overcome obstacles that can

hinder access to cancer treatment such as transportation, lodging,

specialized nutritional supplements, access to dietitian, and dental needs.

The foundation also supports healthy cancer survivorship programs such

as THRIVE365, a focused wellness program for cancer survivors in

Acadiana who have completed treatment. THRIVE365 involves area

personal trainers for exercise, registered dietician consultations, and

access to a licensed social worker for mental wellness. THRIVE365 is a

free program focusing to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and to

lower the risk of the recurrence of cancer or new cancer diagnosis.
