Caregiver Resources
Los Angeles Cancer Caregiver Consortium (LA3C) is a group of healthcare professionals and patient/caregiver advocates that focus on caring for caregivers of cancer patients. We have developed educational materials to help various professionals and others in the community identify support and provide meaningful resources to cancer caregivers.
