The Foundation – December 19, 2024

Supporting Cancer Patients and Their Families in the Communities Where They Live, Work and Receive Treatment.

Texas Oncology Foundation Reflects on 2024

As the end of 2024 draws to a close, we reflect on Texas Oncology Foundation’s impact on patients, caregivers and survivors. We ask the question: did we fulfill our mission of supporting cancer patients and their families where they live, work and receive treatment? By utilizing our three pillars—education, outreach and support—we feel that we tailored our programs to meet the unique needs of each person we touched.

Every program and service is designed to directly impact those affected by cancer, no matter if they are a patient, caregiver, or family member. Cumulatively, Texas Oncology Foundation has served 20,252 patients and caregivers in 42 communities. We look forward to having a presence in even more communities in 2025 and serving you with even more services and programs that meet your needs.

If you would like to pay it forward and enable the Foundation to continue its important work, please thoughtfully consider giving a tax deductible donation to Texas Oncology Foundation.
