OVARIAN CANCER NATIONAL ALLIANCE
Invite reviews
I'm a survivor of ovarian cancer and, after evaluating other cancer charities and serving on other boards, decided this group will make a difference. OCNA has earned respect on Capitol Hill, among scientists and survivors. Excellent leadership and very beneficial programs.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the spirit of survivorship. As an ovarian cancer survivor, I need hope. OCNA gives us that.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
passionate about saving women's lives.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
help thousands of women, educate millions who are at risk, elevate the priority of treating and diagnosing ovarian cancer.
Ways to make it better...
more people supported the cause and participated in the movement to conquer ovarian cancer.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
financial. It's hard to get donations in the current economy. The group functions largely on volunteerism and keeping the programs running is costly.
One thing I'd also say is that...
ovarian cancer claims most of the women affected by the disease w/in 5 yrs. That's why we don't have a large survivor community to raise funds and awareness. We need help from the general public.

The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance has united individuals, groups and healthcare professionals in the fight against ovarian cancer. They are working on behalf of patients and families to ensure our voices are heard in Washington and government funding for ovarian cancer is maintained and increased. The Ovarian Cancer National Alliance is the "go to" resource for ovarian cancer and I am proud to be a part of it!

I have been involved with the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance since 2002. I am currently a board member. It has been an honor to work with this group as they have grown to bring awareness about ovarian cancer to the general public, worked with the medical community, other national health organizations and Congress to change the face of this deadly disease.

Seven years ago,the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance made it possible for me to transcend the label of "cancer patient" and become an advocate; it changed my life. I just attended my 8th annual OCNA conference---they keep getting better and better. OCNA is a leader in education, awareness, and advocacy in the area of ovarian cancer. I am proud to be a board member and the president of my local Ovarian Cancer Alliance of OR/SW Wa.
