We eliminate suffering and death in Louisiana by focusing on cancers that can be prevented or detected early and cured.
We make sure women who qualify get no-cost mammograms and the help they need to get screened (including financial help and transportation). We also provide online support to young breast cancer survivors and their caregivers. In addition, we educate women, providers, legislators, and others around the state to beat breast cancer in Louisiana.
Learn MoreNo one should ever die from cervical cancer, which is why we provide no-cost Pap tests to Louisiana women who qualify. We also educate people at all levels – including parents, doctors, the general public and more – to make sure boys and girls are getting the HPV vaccine to prevent cancers (including cervical) after they’re grown.
Learn MoreCatch colorectal cancer early and it’s more than 90% survivable. That’s why everyone 45 and over should be screened. But Louisiana has a special problem with the disease and that is why everyone should learn why we are more vulnerable and what we at LCP are doing about it.
Learn MoreLung cancer is the easiest cancer to prevent. So why is it the #1 cancer killer in Louisiana? More than 80% of lung cancers are caused by smoking, and that includes those killed by secondhand smoke. Learn how to quit, the dangers of secondhand smoke and e-cigs, and what we can do to save ourselves!
Learn MoreWe provide information and education to general and specific audiences on breast, cervical and HPV-related, colorectal and lung and tobacco-related cancer, as well as take parts in events that promote our direct breast and cervical screenings for eligible women or raise money for our nonprofit efforts.
