The New Mexico Cancer Center Foundation was established in 2002 by the medical team at the New Mexico Cancer Center to meet the non-medical expenses of the Center’s cancer patients. The Foundation’s programs include a patient grant program, a patient education program, nutritional and fitness programs, and continuing medical education programs for healthcare professionals. The New Mexico Cancer Center’s facility was conceived to double as gallery space to allow local artists to showcase their art. A portion of any artwork sold goes to the NMCC Foundation. The Foundation provides non-medical financial assistance grants for low-income cancer patients and their families to help manage non-treatment costs and related expenses, such as lodging, transportation, legal and child care. A portion of all art purchases is tax-deductible.

The New Mexico Cancer Center is staffed by New Mexico Oncology Hematology Consultants, Ltd. physicians. As Albuquerque’s leading outpatient cancer treatment facility, NMCC provides multidisciplinary cancer treatment options, including chemotherapy and radiation. NMCC is committed to providing state-of-the-art technology, cutting-edge therapies and the highest caliber medical professionals for New Mexicans.
