Our supporters are the heart of the Fox Chase family
Gifts to the Office of Health Communications and Health Disparities enable us to bring Fox Chase's top-ranking status as a world-class research and treatment center into the local community. With donor support, we are able to make a real difference in the lives of our neighbors through cancer prevention and screening programs.

View Statistics:
The burden of certain cancer types is greater on some minority groups. To help reduce incidence and improve outcomes, Fox Chase Cancer Center offers programs aimed at prevention, detection and treatment for people at high risk of prostate, breast, ovarian, lung and colorectal cancers.
The Community Outreach program is designed to increase minority involvement in clinical, behavioral and prevention trials through the delivery of cancer education and screening programs. To learn more or to participate, please call 215-214-1594 or write Community.Outreach@fccc.edu.
