Alaska Cancer Care Alliance The Alaska Cancer Care Alliance (ACCA) is an organization designed to help cancer patients, survivors and their loved ones throughout their journey, both during and post treatment. The goal is to ensure that no one is alone by linking survivors with the appropriate resources and creating new ones to address the emotional, social and financial needs of the patient. The ACCA was developed by a group of oncologists who saw the need to close the gap in communication and is looking to link organizations and resources in order to better provide services to cancer patients. Through navigation, workshops and support, we are here to help!
