Lung Cancer Educational Materials

LUNG CANCER AWARENESS MONTH KITS

Each year, we send hundreds of kits to hospitals and cancer centers for use during Lung Cancer Awareness Month in November. If your treatment facility would like to order a kit, including a poster, LCA information and give-away items, please email us at support@lungcanceralliance.org.

Our goal is to have the kits sent out by late-September or early October. We regret that at this time, we are only able to send kits within the United States!

We are dedicated to providing those facing lung cancer with the most up-to-day and reader-friendly information. We are also a resource for the nurses, social workers, patient navigators and other healthcare professionals who work directly with lung cancer patients and their loved ones. Getting our information is easy, just call our toll-free information line at 1-800-298-2436 or email Amy Copeland at acopeland@lungcanceralliance.org.
