Celebrating 20 Years of Compassion and Care

An Essential Part of the North Bay Oncology Community​​

NBCA’s primary focus is on assisting low-income cancer patients. We ensure they remain in treatment by providing free rides to medical appointments, helping them keep food on the table, and addressing many other urgent needs.

Patients & Families

NBCA serves all local cancer patients with cancer information, patient resources, financial assistance and important data, statistics and research. We focus on ensuring those patients who fall through the cracks — low income people with cancer and their family, friends and caregivers — are able to get the treatment they need to move through the cancer journey.

Driven to Care

With the financial support of local automotive businesses, NBCA is providing free rides to treatment, gas money, and even financial help for urgent car repairs, tires, or service — whatever it takes to keep cancer patients on the road to recovery.

What NBCA Donors Say

  • Sonoma County needs an independent and locally managed organization like North Bay Cancer Alliance which is dedicated to helping cancer patients and their families.

    Anonymous NBCA Donor

  • This is a great opportunity to join our effort and raise money for one of the county's most important programs aimed to find women before they develop cancers. We have screened more than 2,500 women so far and this fundraiser will allow us to continue our work and serve the community in a very important way.
