Who We Serve

The Latino Cancer Collaborative provides a culturally and linguistically competent continuum of preventive community education and cancer support services for Latinos and their families in Contra Costa County, California. We work with local, regional and national partners and health care systems to remove barriers to cancer-related services and care and reduce cancer inequities for Latinos.

"They have been support­ing our cancer patients. It has been a great system to help them in as many ways as possible."
"As a public hospital where 33 percent of our clients are Spanish speak­ing, frequently with young children and minimal sup­port, they all desperately need these services."
