The Lipson Cancer Institute was founded on a commitment to provide comprehensive cancer care from one integrated program. But comprehensive cancer care is more than just treating the physical disease. It’s providing comfort and strength in a time of adversity, and hope and reassurance of a long, healthy, cancer-free life.
When you donate to Lipson Cancer Institute, you’re making a frightening diagnosis easier to bear and easier to beat. You’re taking away the stress of finding transportation to treatments. You’re providing a relaxing and restorative space to receive infusions, and you’re supporting talented medical teams that bring the best in cancer care to our friends and neighbors.
We're committed to serving the whole person at Lipson Cancer Institute, and making sure every patient has the best shot at living life to the fullest.

That’s why we hope for the best possible care, delivered in the best possible way. As a community, we need to help give all patients the tools and support they need to battle their disease.
