AnCan Foundation

AnCan Foundation AnCan is about people helping people. We provide peer-to-peer support and navigation to empower people wherever they are in their health journey.

We believe in advocacy, support, and education no matter where you are, or what condition you have Welcome!

​AnCan (formerly Answer Cancer Foundation) is about people helping people, peer-to-peer. We are people living with various conditions and situations who help others faced with similar issues. We do this collectively and individually by providing answers, advocacy, education, support and navigation to empower people living with serious and chronic conditions to address their worlds. Our vision is to provide easily accessible, inclusive virtual peer support for every serious disease and condition allowing widespread participation, especially to those geographically, physically or socially disadvantaged.
​
While AnCan does not provide medical advice and is not subject to HIPAA compliance as a peer-to-peer organization, We DO empower those seeking to use our programs and services to manage their own care. Services are offered free of charge, although we welcome tax-deductible donations.
