Patient Support Volunteer (Lakewood Ranch)
The Florida Cancer Specialists Foundation (FCS Foundation) is a 501(3)(c) nonprofit organization founded in 2011 located at 5204 Paylor Lane, Sarasota, Florida. It assists cancer patients across the state of Florida. Thanks to generous partner physicians covering overhead, 100% of donations go directly toward essential non‑medical living expenses for adult cancer patients.
