The Interlakes Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving patient care through cancer research and education. It was founded in 1996 by the physicians of Interlakes Oncology & Hematology.

The Foundation conducts innovative clinical studies in all aspects of cancer therapy. The Interlakes Foundation is affiliated with several national research groups:

• The Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) through affiliation with the University of Pittsburgh
• US Oncology (USO)
• Breast Cancer International Research Group (BCIRG)
• A number of pharmaceutical research organizations

This affords patients the opportunity to enter national and international clinical trials, receiving state-of-the-art treatments.

Since its founding, The Interlakes Foundation has sponsored many educational lectures, seminars, and symposia for physicians, other health care professionals, and the general public. We also have a support group for patients and their families.
