We are a group of physicians, nurses, medical professionals, survivors and other interested people. Council members do not receive any compensation and give willingly of their time and energy.
Our Mission
The Los Alamos Council on Cancer strives to increase public awareness of cancer and promotes early diagnosis and treatment.

Yearly Seminars
The Council sponsors seminars featuring local, regional, and national specialists; workshops for medical staff and the public; and participation in the annual Los Alamos Health Fair.
The Council sponsors two seminars per year where guest speakers address a timely topic on cancer. The seminars are offered to everyone at no charge and provide continuing education credit to local nurses.
