Take the Fight is a small nonprofit organization operating in the hospitals and health care sector, based in New York City. It runs a two-year fellowship that trains college students in their final year and pairs them with cancer patients to help improve the patients’ treatment outcomes, while the fellows later work at the organization to address systemic health-care challenges they encountered during Year One. The initiative targets promising young leaders who can contribute to patient empowerment and health-care problem‑solving, operating from its headquarters to support the mission nationwide across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. The organization positions itself as a nontraditional, nonprofit enterprise focused on systemic improvement rather than conventional charitable activities, with the aim of building an active cohort of Cancer Strategists who work full-time within the program after graduation.
