The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is committed to reaching out to those with leukemia, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma in meaningful ways. Programs have been developed all over the country to meet the needs of patients, families and oncology professionals; the people who deal with blood cancer every day and the people who care for them.

We have listened to the feedback from patients, volunteers and scholars. We have heard that the day-to-day benefits they receive from support, outreach, community and our strong research program make a difference. LLS's programs for patients and their families include:

Call Center - The Information Resource Center (IRC) provides the public, families, health professionals and people living with blood-related cancer accurate, up-to-date, disease-related information and referral services

Family Support Groups - Healthcare professionals lead regularly scheduled group meetings, bringing together patients, families and friends

First Connection (Peer-to-Peer) Program - First Connection is a peer-to-peer telephone support program linking patients and their families with a trained volunteer who has experienced a similar situation

Back to School - The Trish Greene Back to School Program for Children with Cancer is designed to increase communication among healthcare professionals, parents, patients and school officials to assure a smooth transition from active treatment back to school and daily life

Financial Support - The many challenges of a blood-related cancer diagnosis include managing your household finances and healthcare insurance, and understanding your rights in the workplace as a cancer survivor or a caregiver

Education Programs - The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society offers patient and family education and information for individuals living with cancer

For Caregivers - When someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer it will dramatically affect the lives of families and all others who have a relationship with the patient
