OUR ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY:
The Women’s Cancer Resource Center has been serving the San Francisco East Bay Area since 1986, primarily clients in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. More than 80% of our clients are people of color, and 75% are low-income.
WCRC staff have long observed that cancer is not the greatest concern for the low-income and systematically marginalized individuals we serve. Limited access to primary health care, inadequate health services and financial resources, language and cultural barriers, racism, and mistrust of medical systems contribute to late diagnosis and earlier death, especially for African American, Latinx, and other groups of low-income people diagnosed with cancer. WCRC provides a set of comprehensive, coordinated services that include cancer navigation, financial assistance, peer support, wellness programs, and referrals to wraparound services to mitigate these problems for people with limited access to essential, life-giving care.
As a highly committed, equity-focused organization, advancing equity in cancer support and reducing disparities at every stage are our fundamental goals. Our diverse and highly skilled staff team is committed to cultural humility and is made up of people who represent the communities we serve. We work to ensure that our clients feel seen, heard, and supported through their cancer experience.
