American Cancer Society Website
The American Cancer Society works to fight cancer through research funding, education, and patient support programs. It has helped contribute to a major decline in cancer death rates, by about 33% since 1991, through promoting early detection and better treatments. The organization also directly supports patients, providing millions of free rides to treatment and thousands of nights of lodging each year. By combining research, advocacy, and hands-on support, the American Cancer Society has made a significant impact on improving survival and quality of life for people facing cancer.
This project redesigns how cancer information is discovered by creating an interactive platform for patients and loved ones to navigate and learn about cancer. By turning a long, link-heavy experience into one visual, intuitive entry point, it helps patients and families quickly find the exact cancer topic they need. Through integrated treatment tracking and community engagement features, it reduces confusion, stress, and time spent searching while improving overall quality of life.
