The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the world's largest voluntary (nonprofit) health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, support and advocacy. The LLS mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. The mission is carried out through research, patient and professional education and services, and advocating for cures and access to care.
LLS provides free support, resources, and referrals, as well as virtual and local in-person education programs and videos to help all patients, survivors and their families stay informed about and access to the best possible treatment and follow-up care. LLS patient services include co-pay assistance, transportation and urgent need assistance, one-on-one peer-to-peer support, nutrition counseling, online chats and forums, and support groups. Services also include up-to-date disease and treatment information provided through the LLS website and printed booklets, as well as through one-on-one dialogue with Information Specialists in LLS’s Information Resource Center (IRC).
