CLRC and ACS Partner on National Expansion Project
Since August of 2007, the Cancer Legal Resource Center (CLRC) has partnered with the National Home Office of the American Cancer Society (ACS) on a health insurance pilot project focusing on four states: California, Hawaii, West Virginia, and Kentucky. Click here for more information. Because of the success of the project in its pilot year, CLRC and ACS National have agreed to continue the project for a second year. During the second year the project will focus on four additional states.
ACS refers calls nationally to the CLRC. In 2001, approximately 20% of the CLRC callers were from outside of California. In 2007, approximately 60% of the CLRC callers were from outside California.
The CLRC is also supported by the California Division of the American Cancer Society (ACS). Generous funding is also provided by Loyola Law School, the Disability Rights Legal Center, the California Office of the Patient Advocate, the Lance Armstrong Foundation, several affiliates of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, other grants, and individual donations.
