MISSION STATEMENT Desert Cancer Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting residents in the Coachella Valley and surrounding communities who need financial assistance in obtaining screening, diagnosis and treatment for cancer and allied diseases. WHAT WE DO "Cancer is a word not a sentence." Desert Cancer Foundation was founded more than a decade ago to pay for treatment of cancer patients who lack insurance or sufficient funds to pay for their medical care. DCF works with the support of local healthcare professionals. Program applicants are individually reviewed by a patient assistance committee, which includes volunteer medical professionals, medical social workers and a medical financial counselor. The primary consideration for acceptance in the DCF program is a demonstrated need for financial assistance to obtain local cancer treatment. During the past decade DCF has paid for cancer treatment valued at more than 14 million dollars. DCF serves resident cancer patients of all ages and ethnic groups in the Coachella Valley and surrounding areas. DISCOVER DCF Desert Cancer Foundation
