Welcome to Henry County Cancer Services
The
mission of Henry County Cancer Services, Inc. is to assist
individuals and families struggling from the effects of
cancer on their lives. Cancer Services seeks to assist the
patient at their point of need. Funds raised go directly to
providing medicines, medical co-pays, doctor bills,
hospital bills, mileage reimbursement, wigs, nutritional
supplements and Angel Food Boxes.
Henry County Cancer Services, Inc. (HCCS) is a 501c3
non-profit organization that has been serving cancer
patients in Henry County since 2002.
HCCS is now able to return 97% of donations directly to the
care of patients by managing the day-to-day administration,
working with our partners and conducting fund raising
efforts with dedicated volunteers.
Our partners, Moye’s Pharmacy, and Robinson, Whaley,
Hammonds & Allison contribute to operational cost
savings by offering discounts on pharmaceutical needs and
accounting costs. We also partner with Sacred Journey,
Cat’s Pajamas, Hands of Hope, Kiwanis, The Rotary Club and
Henry County Commissioners. Together, we try to make a
difference in a patient’s life.
Our statistics indicate that the need in the community is
growing exponentially and has already outstripped our
resources this year. HCCS has been receiving an average of
4-5 new requests for assistance each week. Unfortunately
our lack of funds means we are only able to care for
twenty-three (23) patients at the present time.
The stark reality of the situation is that without a fairly
substantial increase in donations we will be unable to care
for our current patients much longer and certainly are
unable even now, to accept any new patients. Our waiting
list is long and a source of distress.

Cancer Services continues to partner with Georgia Cancer

directly and thereby reach patients needing assistance
quickly.
