OUR MISSION
Putting Patients First: Advocating for Cancer Research & Patient Care in Louisiana & Beyond
The Cancer Advocacy Group of Louisiana (CAGLA) is a grassroots, non-profit advocacy organization committed to enhancing cancer care and research in Louisiana. We believe that access to exceptional cancer care should be a universal right, and we are committed to promoting legislation that ensures equal access for all patients. Our efforts extend beyond advocacy to include the reduction of physical, emotional, and financial suffering associated with cancer.
Leveraging our political action committee, CAGLA CARES, we actively shape legislation to alleviate the cancer burden. Our mission is clear and bold — to eliminate cancer in Louisiana, the U.S., and ultimately the world. By maintaining an active dialogue with lawmakers, patients, and medical communities, we keep abreast of the needs and advancements in our fight against cancer.
Join us as we amplify Louisiana’s voice in this crucial battle and fast-track our journey towards a cancer-free future.
