The San Francisco Firefighters Cancer Prevention Foundation’s Health Navigation team is currently providing personalized support to 140 active patients, including firefighters and their family members who are navigating a cancer diagnosis. In May, the program welcomed five new patients into care and supported twelve others as they completed treatment or transitioned out of active services.
These numbers reflect the ongoing need for compassionate, comprehensive cancer support within the firefighter community. Each patient’s journey is different, but our commitment remains the same: to ensure no firefighter or family member goes through cancer alone.
