What we do makes a difference here in our community for friends & neighbors.  We are that knowledgeable and compassionate friend who supports the patient as well as the family.
 
History
Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana was founded in 1944 as the Allen County Cancer Society. In an effort to build and strengthen the local programs and services the leadership affiliated with United Way in 1953.

To better describe who we are and what we do, the name was changed in 1994. For many years friends in nearby communities have asked us to serve people with cancer in their county. In 2006, we became Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana serving Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells and Whitley counties.  The organization is entirely supported by charitable donations and 100% of the donations stay in the local community.
 
Each year our Client Advocates serve more than 2,000 people with cancer and their families.  We are proud to have developed a nationally recognized program supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
