The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Since its founding in 1949, the Society has invested more than $424 million for research specifically targeting blood cancers.
The newly formed Central Texas Chapter serves Austin, San Marcos, Temple/Killeen, Waco and College Station with expansion into western counties spanning to Del Rio and Midland/Odessa.
Bridge360 teamed up with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Central Texas Chapter, to provide a Spanish version of the First Steps Kit, a guide for blood cancer patients. The First Steps Kit, which was developed by a group of Central Texas survivors and area nurses, provides essential information for newly diagnosed blood cancer patients. The English version, which was release in November, is available at all Central Texas hospital oncology wards. The Spanish version will be distributed later this year to expand the reach.
