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.

Every single day we are involved in impacting the lives of cancer patients across the state.
