The North Bay Cancer Alliance (NBCA) was founded in 2005 and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Sonoma County, California. It is governed by a nine member community-based volunteer board of directors. Our primary service area is the five counties in the San Francisco North Bay, which includes Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Lake, and Mendocino.

NBCA was created to be a cancer oriented resource and service organization. Specifically, our objectives are to educate people in our community about early cancer detection methods and how to minimize the risks of cancer as well as to provide tools to help patients cope with the realities of cancer. In addition, NBCA will promote ongoing local clinical research which can offer patients in our community treatments otherwise only available in large metropolitan cities.

Our Mission

North Bay Cancer Alliance is committed to helping people in our community cope with both the risk and the reality of cancer by increasing local access to clinical research, providing information and resources related to the prevention and early detection of cancer and by developing programs and collaborations to help the underserved to receive the care they need.

About Our Board

NBCA embraces broad-based community representation as an important value. In working toward that goal, we maintain a philosophy on board compositions. Our Board of Directors is designed to reflect a cross-section of people reflecting our core values and those of our community-at-large. As part of that philosophy, the Board strives for diversity in ethnicity, gender, community based experience, geography and professional expertise.
