The National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship is a nonprofit organization founded by and for cancer survivors, focused on survivorship and patient-centered care. Based in Silver Spring, Maryland, it aims to advance quality cancer care for all people touched by cancer. It engages in policy work to influence how cancer care is delivered, regulated, and financed, with a focus on planning at diagnosis and pivotal transition points. Its work centers on representing survivors' interests to Congress, the federal government, policymakers, payers, and providers, and on providing tools and information to help survivors participate actively in their care. The organization serves cancer survivors and their loved ones as its primary audience and engages with health care stakeholders to improve survivorship outcomes. In April 2025, it announced the appointment of two new board members, Lisa Montez and Stephen Whisnant.
