Providing support to Louisiana residents affected by the devastating burden of Cancer
Founded over six decades ago, CALA has been a beacon of hope in Louisiana’s fight against cancer with a core mission of supporting Louisiana cancer patients. Over the years, we have evolved to become the Cancer Association of Louisiana, extending its reach to serve the needs of cancer patients across Louisiana.
Our Programs
CALA supports patients and their families during diagnosis and treatment by removing barriers to care and ensuring that all patients are able to receive the quality of care they deserve. CALA works closely with treatment teams throughout the state to provide solutions to barriers such as transportation needs, food insecurity and medical supplies.
