Services
The Commonwealth Cancer Association, Inc. (the CCA) is a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to serving as an advocate for cancer issues in the CNMI.
Cancer touches every corner of our community and is often diagnosed in the late advanced stage which is life-changing for the survivor, their caregivers, and the people who love them. The CCA’s Board of Directors and Administrative Staff work continuously to raise awareness to the signs of cancer, to educate the public on prevention, and to ensure that cancer screenings are easily accessible to everyone.
Functioning as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the CCA operates with a small but powerful staff and an engaged Board of Directors. Our efforts are only successful with the support of our survivors, our community, and our business partners, who rally with us in our fight for a cancer-free CNMI.

The CCA is dedicated to offering comprehensive support to our clients, addressing their financial, mental, and physical needs. Each qualifying client receives annual thresholds to obtain essential resources, including nutritional supplements and medical supplies. We also organize support groups to encourage interaction, connection, and the sharing of experiences. We work with dietitians to provide recipes for promoting a healthy diet.

Partnering with the CHCC Oncology Center, local physicians, and dental clinics, the CCA conducts presentations for all ages to educate the community on common types of cancer, symptoms to watch for, and the importance of cancer screening.
