About Cancer Support Hub

Connecting Washington State cancer patients and families to the support they need, when they need it.

Our Mission

Cancer Support Hub is a free cancer navigation platform for Washington State. We go beyond listing resources — we help patients, survivors, caregivers, and families find the right support for their specific situation through guided matching, personalized action plans, and direct connections to patient navigators. We believe no one should face cancer alone.

Who We Serve

We serve anyone in Washington State affected by cancer — patients in active treatment, survivors, caregivers, and family members. Our platform covers all 39 counties with 500+ listed resources across 11 categories: housing, food, mental health, financial aid, legal help, caregiving, transportation, children & family, your rights, government programs, and cancer education.

How It Works

1
Use the Navigator to answer a few optional questions about your situation — role, location, insurance, income, and needs.
2
Get personalized results ranked by relevance, with "Start here" guidance and crisis alerts when urgent help is available.
3
Save resources to your Action Plan, track your progress (contacted, applied, approved), add notes, and print or share with your care team.

Platform Features

Guided Resource Matching
Our 4-step wizard collects your situation and matches you with the most relevant programs from 500+ resources. Every result is scored and ranked — strong matches appear first.
Action Plan with Progress Tracking
Save resources and track your journey. Mark each resource as contacted, applied, approved, or not eligible. Add notes, print your plan for clinic visits, or share it with family and social workers.
Crisis-Aware Triage
If your situation indicates urgent need — uninsured with low income, housing crisis, food insecurity — we surface emergency resources with direct "Call now" links at the top of your results.
Patient Navigator Connection
Every page connects you to free, confidential patient navigators through the American Cancer Society (1-800-227-2345) and CancerCare (1-800-813-4673) who can guide you through next steps.
Provider Referral Tools
Clinics, social workers, and nonprofits can generate personalized resource handouts filtered by county and need — ready to print or copy for patient referrals.
Multilingual Support
Cancer Support Hub's interface, directory cards, trial finder, and Phase 1 guides are available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, Tagalog, and Arabic. Some linked external resources may still be English-only or Spanish-only.
Accessibility First
Adjustable font sizes, high contrast mode, keyboard navigation, and a simplified layout designed for people dealing with treatment fatigue and cognitive overload.

Data Quality & Verification
Program availability and eligibility can change. Confirm details with the provider.
How we verify
The directory combines published information and submitted corrections. A listing does not guarantee eligibility or availability.
How often
Check each listing’s verification date; it does not guarantee current availability.
When programs change
If a program closes, changes eligibility, or becomes unavailable, we update or remove it within 48 hours of confirmation. Users can report issues through our contact page.
Our sources
We reference data from the American Cancer Society, National Cancer Institute, Washington State DSHS, WA Health Care Authority, CancerCare, Patient Advocate Foundation, and local hospital systems including Fred Hutch, UW Medicine, and Providence Swedish.
Cancer Support Hub provides resource information only. We are not a medical provider and do not offer medical advice. Always verify current eligibility directly with each organization.
