About Us

The Cancer Association of Louisiana (formerly CAGNO), assists patients throughout the state of Louisiana with services essential to their cancer care. Our goal is to reduce the barriers that patients feel while undergoing treatment by providing services such as nutritional support, gas cards, farmer’s market vouchers, medical supplies, wigs and prothesis and additional supplies as available. 

The Cancer Association of Louisiana strives to “Promote cancer survivorship and reduce health disparities through local programs of Education, Outreach and Patient Services.” 

 In 2023, CALA helped 1411 patients across 47 parishes.
