About Us

Dedicated to curing leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and other blood cancers, we are now The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), the world's largest voluntary (nonprofit) health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research and providing education and patient services.
 

Since 1949, we’ve invested nearly $1.5 billion in groundbreaking research, pioneering many of today’s most innovative approaches. We work tirelessly to find cures and ensure patients can access the lifesaving treatments they need. When someone experiences the fear and uncertainty of a cancer diagnosis, we provide hope, compassion, education and support. And we are making an impact in the cancer community.

 

The LLS Mission: Cure Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin's Disease and Myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

 

Our Work

Together, we are working tirelessly to create pathways for equity for our staff, our volunteers, and our communities, while driving forward change that honors our mission and stands against systemic racism and injustice in all its forms. We are determined to break down barriers and address the needs of underserved populations. To date, we have pioneered advances in treatment that stem from a diverse ecosystem. By bringing together different perspectives, backgrounds, and thinking, we are fueling innovative breakthroughs that are a life force for blood cancer patients and their families who deserve to receive the best care and support possible.
 

Our Culture

At LLS, it is important that our teams reflect the communities we serve. We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcome, seen, and heard. We grow stronger when we embrace and learn from our differences. At the same time, we recognize that our shared identities unite us, creating a sense of belonging.

Our Commitment

We believe in continuous improvement, and we know we have more to do. As the global leader in the fight to end blood cancers, finding cures for all people impacted by these diseases is in our DNA. We will continue to educate ourselves, engage in difficult conversations, and hold ourselves and each other accountable.
