鑒於華盛頓州需要一個專為華人癌友和家屬提供支援的組織，數位癌友和有心人士，及社團組織經過近一年的義務籌畫，在2002年五月份於西雅圖市成立了“華盛頓州華人防癌互援網”，並於2003年十月正式成為一個非營利機構，並改名為“華州華人防癌互助協會”。

防癌互助協會的宗旨是希望能為華人癌友和家屬提供必要的協助，如果您有任何問題或意見，或者您個人或是您所認識的癌症朋友和家屬需要任何資訊，或是您想參加我們每個月一次的癌友談心會或讀書會，請打電話(206) 850-5914和我們聯絡（國粵英語均可）。非常謝謝您。

In view of the need for a support group dedicated to Chinese cancer victims and their families in Washington State, several cancer survivors and a number of concerned people and community groups joined hands to carry out their vision.  Their year-long planning, accomplished on volunteer time, resulted in the establishment of the Washington State Chinese Cancer Network (WSCCN) in Seattle, in May 2002. 

In October 2003, the WSCCN registered as a non-profit organization and changed its name to Washington State Chinese Cancer Network Association (WSCCNA).  Its mission is to provide support and assistance for cancer patients and survivors, and their families, in the Chinese community.

Do you have any enquiries or comments about cancer-related issues?  Would you like to joint our monthly Support Group meeting or our Study Club?  Please contact us at 206-850-5914 (in Mandarin, Cantonese, or English).  Thank you for your interest in the WSCCNA.
