 | FCCC is a community based, non-profit organization, located in Southern, Southeast Alaska, dedicated to helping reduce the impact of cancer related problems for you and your loved ones . |
|
| We are an all volunteer group and everyone is welcome to participate. Please contact Linda Gilson 225-2343 or Kathie Glover 225-9351 or e-mail FCCC for information about our next meeting. |
| | The application process is easy and the response time is very fast. In addition, FCCC can put you in touch with other sources of aid. Applications are available here, at all local physicians' offices and clinics, or by calling 225-4104. |
| | We can help you with reduced fee screenings. |

| FCCC is not affiliated with the American Cancer Society, insuring that all funds stay in the community. Donations are received year-round in celebrations of cancer survivors and in memory of cancer victims. The annual St. Patrick's Day Auction is our only fund raiser and because of the generosity of our community we have been able to put over $1,000,000 back into the communities of southern Southeast Alaska. |
| FCCC is not affiliated with PeaceHealth (Ketchikan General Hospital) Foundation. |
| | Another activity of FCCC has been to solicit and receive monetary donations which have been used specifically to purchase the following cancer related equipment of Ketchikan General Hospital: a Sentinel Neoprobe for use in breast cancer diagnosis, a new Cell Processor for Pathology, and a Stereotactic Breast Biopsy Unit. |
