Desert Cancer Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting residents in the Coachella Valley and surrounding communities who need financial assistance in obtaining screening, diagnosis and treatment for cancer and allied diseases.

DCF's Patient Assistance Program assists with the costs related to cancer care such as medications, insurance co-pays, deductibles, premiums, and more. In addition, through partnerships with local providers, DCF offers lung cancer screening, as well as breast cancer screening and diagnostic services at no cost to low income, uninsured or underinsured Coachella Valley residents.
