Cancer Support Team was founded in 1978 under the guidance and vision of Arnold Wald, M.D. and Gayle Lee, R.N. They understood the special needs of cancer patients, and created what has become the only Westchester-based home care program providing nursing and supportive care to those with cancer and their families at any stage of the disease, at no cost and without regard to insurance coverage. CST incorporated in 1983 as a non-profit organization and, in 1992, became licensed by the New York State Department of Health.

CST has grown over the years and continues to offer a comprehensive array of medical, educational and support services. Our staff consists of nurses, social workers and case managers who provide services from diagnosis, through treatment and beyond. They work in conjunction with over 100 volunteers to provide the support that those affected by cancer need to cope with the diagnosis. Today, CST serves over 800 individuals annually as well as many family members, friends and caregivers involved in their care.

Care. Support. Compassion. Always free of charge.
