Kern County Cancer Foundation

Our Mobile Angel Unit exists to help our youngest patients get to and from needed out-of-area appointments. We know how difficult traveling long-distance can be for the families who are balancing work and schedules of other family members. Our pediatric transport program is here to make sure pediatric patients can get treatment and see their care teams at Valley Children’s Hospital in Madera; Children’s Hospital, Los Angeles; and UCLA Children’s Hospital. We can also provide... gas cards for family members who are able to transport patients. For more information or to apply for this program, please contact your child’s social worker.

The Kern County Cancer Foundation was established to assist local cancer patients with the significant expenses related to cancer care. Before the establishment of the Kern County Cancer Foundation cancer patients had to choose between paying for their mortgage or paying for treatment. Local oncologists and community members rallied together to start KCCF in 2012 to eliminate the financial burden brought on by a cancer diagnosis. Through donations and fundraising efforts, we ...have been able to award approximately $3 million and help more than 600 patients with the overwhelming cost of treatment. Even when insured, copays and deductibles add up quickly.... Learn more about KCCF by visiting: https://kerncountycancerfoundation.org

Please support this BBQ!

March is Kidney Cancer awareness month. The lifetime risk for developing kidney cancer is about 1 in 46 for men and 1 in 82 for women. The overall 5 year survival rate for people with kidney cancer is 75%. Risk factors include but are not limited to family history of kidney cancer, advanced or chronic kidney disease, smoking, obesity, and high blood pressure. The key is in awareness or your risk factors, early detection, and conversations with your healthcare providers. We honor kidney cancer survivors and family members. You are not alone in your journey. #kerncountycancerfoundation #localsupportforlocalneeds
